LETTEB OF TKANSMITTAL. 



Department of the Interior, 

Bureau of Education, 
Washington, November #, 1920. 
Sir : It is of special importance that students in foreign countries 
who may be seeking educational opportunities in the United States 
should Thave accurate information as to what institutions in this 
country have to offer. For this reason I requested Dr. Samuel Paul 
Capen, at that time specialist in higher education in the Bureau of 
Education, to prepare for publication a document which should show 
the organization of American education with special reference to 
universities, colleges, and professional schools; state and explain 
admission requirements with special reference to the needs of foreign 
students; and outline the general and specific opportunities to be 
found at American institutions of higher education. The manu- 
script transmitted herewith gives information on these points and 
on many others of value, not only to the prospective student from 
foreign countries, but to all who may be interested in the present 
facilities for higher education in the United States. I recommend 
that it be published as a bulletin of the Bureau of Education. 
Respectfully submitted.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS AT 

COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES IN 

THE UNITED STATES. 



SECTION I. 



CHAPTER I. 
ORGANIZATION OF EDUCATION IN THE UNITED STATES. 

' STATE SYSTEMS. 

The United States is a federation of 48 self-governing Common- 
wealths, each of which exercises independently all powers not speci- 
fically conferred upon the Federal Congress by the Constitution or 
derived by implication therefrom. Since the Constitution does not 
provide for the control of education by the Federal Government, 
there is no national system; but the United States contains within 
its area 49 1 separate systems of education. 

No two of the State systems are exactly similar, yet they possess 
certain common factors. For example, all States provide by law 2 for 
elementary education 3 at public expense. The usual length of the 
public elementary school course is eight years. Children commonly 
enter at the age of 6 or 7 and finish at the age of 14 or 15. In all 
States, school attendance during a part or all of this period is com- 
pulsory. 4 Public secondary schools, called high schools, 5 offering a 
course generally four years in length, are also maintained in every 
State. The high-school course 6 is based on the elementary school 
course and is o"pen to graduates of elementary schools or others of 
equivalent preparation. 

1 Including the District of Columbia, which, is the seat of the Federal Government. 

2 The raising of the necessary money by taxation for the support of the schools and the 
administration of them are generally left to local communities — counties, towns, or dis- 
tricts. But local funds are often supplemented by State funds. 

3 For a statement of the scope and content of elementary education, see Sec. Ill, p. 105. 
i The age of compulsory attendance is generally from 7 or 8 to 14 or 15. A few States 

require attendance up to 16 years. 

5 Not to be confused with the German Hochschule, an institution of university grade. 
The high school corresponds more nearly with the middle portion of the course in a Ger- 
man Gymnasium or Oberrealschule. 

6 For typical high-school curricula, see Sec. Ill, p. 106, and following.

8 AMERICAN FACILITIES FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS. 

The high school serves three main purposes. To the great mass of 
students who frequent it it offers four years of cultural and informa- 
tional study designed to equip them for more intelligent and resource- 
ful lives as citizens of a democracy. Its second purpose is to prepare 
students for various higher institutions. In the third place, a num- 
ber of specialized public high schools fit young people for wage 
earning in trades and industries. In general, it may be said that the 
high school has tended more and more to adapt itself to the needs 
of the local community by introducing studies of a practical and 
vocational nature and by allowing its students increasing latitude 
in the choice of courses to be pursued. 

Most States maintain normal schools for the training of teachers, 
or a more or less well- developed State university, or both. The nor- 
mal schools and certain departments of the State universities articu- 
late with the public high school in ways later to be described. 

Alongside the public institutions various groups and individuals 
have founded elementary schools, high schools, academies, 7 normal 
schools, and colleges. The most extensive system of private schools 
is that under the control of the Roman Catholic Church. The total 
enrollment of the Catholic parochial schools was 1,633,599 in 1919. 
Other religious sects have also established institutions to provide 
education under denominational auspices. Both the religious schools 
and the private schools under denominational control parallel rather 
closely the amount and character of the training afforded by the 
public institutions of the same grade. These nonpublic institutions 
and systems are allowed perfect freedom of development under the 
laws of the country. 

The foreign observer, noting chiefly the dissimilarities of the State 
systems, is at first inclined to think that a hopeless confusion of 
standards and organization must characterize American education. 
But the differences are after all superficial rather than fundamental. 
The same general types of institutions are to be found in every State, 
whether they all belong officially to the State system or not. Their 
interrelations are also essentially the same. There are still certain 
inequalities of educational standards, especially among higher in- 
stitutions ; but these are not so great nor so widespread as is often 
believed. 

STANDARDS. 

The principal reasons for the variation in the standards of higher 
education are perhaps already apparent, yet they should be briefly 
summarized because of their bearing on the whole plan and method 
of American education. The State educational systems have grown 
up independently of one another. If one takes account of the pro- 

7 The term " academy " is generally applied to a school of secondary grade. 



ORGANIZATION OF EDUCATION IN UNITED STATES. 9 

visions for education made by a few of the colonial governments 
before the founding of the United States, the dates of establishment 
of the 49 systems of education have covered a period of sometli^iy 
like two centuries and a half. In that time the social philoso - 
of the Nation has changed. The common conception of the par- tie 
State should play in fostering and controlling education has cli it > 1 
with it. According to a widely prevailing theory 8 all grades ox v lo- 
cation, from the kindergarten to the university, should be supported 
and managed by the State or local government. In the relatively 
newer States of the West and Middle West this condition is reaii^M. 
Higher and secondary institutions not under public control are 
either rare or nonexistent. The educational policy of the older 
States, on the other hand, had crystallized before the general accept- 
ance of this theory. Here the responsibility for providing elemerb 
tary and a certain amount of secondary education is felt to rest 
properly on the State, but higher education is left, for the most 
part, to independent institutions founded under various auspices, 
principally religious, and subject to little or no public supervision 

Inevitable differences of standards sprang from these differen 
in methods of control. Moreover, a few of the States, particularly 
those of more recent origin and of sparse population and those im- 
poverished by the Civil War of 1860-1865, have thus far found dii 
ficulty in providing adequate equipment for thorough universky 
education and in enforcing the most severe scholastic requirements. 
In this latter group of States, also, the development of universities 
and colleges of the highest grade has been still further retarded by 
the inferiority of the lower schools which prepare students for ad- 
vanced education. 

There are, however, several counter influences at work tending to 
reduce these inequalities. Chief among them is the action of 
numerous national and sectional associations of school and univer- 
sity officers. For a number of years these associations have been 
engaged in defining standards of school and professional training and 
determining the appropriate scholastic requirements for degrees. In 
the sections of the country where education is best organized the 
recommendations of these associations are regarded as authoritative 
and are put into operation as speedily as possible. The education- 
ally less favored sections are also striving to conform to the stand- 
ards proposed by such bodies and are making increasingly rapid 
progress in this direction. 

In elevating the standards of various types of institutions, prin- 
cipally in the fields of rural education and higher education, the 
recommendations of the United States Bureau of Education have 
also had wide influence. 

8 Members of certain of the denominational bodies, who believe that education should 
be under religious auspices, do not, of course, concur in this theory. 



10 AMERICAN FACILITIES FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS. 

Whether American education ever will achieve complete uniform- 
ity in standards and methods of management is open to doubt. 
Uniformity is contrary to the genius of the Nation. The Americans 
are an individualistic people. Their educational systems and insti- 
tutions have reflected this quality. These have maintained the right 
to expand as they chose and to adapt their courses to local needs, 
free from hampering restrictions. Their freedom is, in fact, one of 
the sources of their strength. Nevertheless, it may safely be said 
that there is now a national consensus of opinion as to what the 
standards of admission to and graduation from the principal types 
of institutions should be, that the standards agreed upon coincide 
in the main with those in force in the corresponding institutions of 
other leading nations, and that they are already maintained by the 
best institutions of the United States. Indeed, students from abroad 
will find in those educational centers to which they will probably be 
attracted unsurpassed facilities for advanced academic and profes- 
sional training. The brief outline of the opportunities for university 
study in the United States presented in this pamphlet deals prin- 
cipally with conditions existing in these more prominent educational 
centers. 

EVOLUTION OF THE UNIVERSITY. 

THE COLLEGE. 

An explanation of the prevailing organization of higher education 
in the United States properly begins with a description of the Ameri- 
can college, an institution which has no exact counterpart in any 
other country. 

Historically, the college is the oldest of American institutions. 
The first one, Harvard College, was founded in 1636 by the early 
English settlers in Massachusetts. Cambridge and Oxford furnished 
its prototypes. Following the example of these institutions, Harvard 
College was designed to give training in the liberal arts, principally 
Latin, Greek, philosophy, and mathematics. Most of its earlier 
graduates entered the Christian ministry. In fact, to supply prop- 
erly trained young men for this profession was one of the chief ob- 
jects sought in the foundation of Harvard and of the other colleges 
established during the first century of colonial life in the United 
States. Gradually, however, the purpose and character of the col- 
lege changed. The more elementary stages of the subjects taught 
were given over to lower schools. New subjects were added to the 
curriculum. The college lost its theological bent, without becoming 
a training school for other professions. It still offered courses in the 
liberal arts, leavened more and more by the introduction of the sci- 
ences, and bestowed upon those who completed these courses the de- 
gree of A. B. 



ORGANIZATION OF EDUCATION IN UNITED STATES. 11 

Three very significant changes in the relation of the college to the 
scheme of higher education occurred during the nineteenth century. 
The first of these was the founding of the professional schools of the- 
ology, law, and medicine. Although students were, and to some 
extent still are, admitted to these schools without a previous college 
education, the tendency has been constantly growing to demand a 
college degree or at least a period of collegiate study as a prerequisite 
for entrance. The college has thus become in certain measure a pre- 
paratory school for those who contemplate a course of professional 
training. 

The second change to which reference has been made was the devel- 
opment within the college of departments of pure and applied science. 
By the middle of the nineteenth century the degree of B. S., granted 
for work done largely in the sciences, began to occupy a position of 
parity with the older degree of A. B. 9 Gradually also these courses 
in science ramified further into courses in engineering. The engi- 
neering schools or divisions thus became coordinate parts of many 
colleges of liberal arts. 

The third and most momentous change in the status of the college 
was brought about by the establishment in connection with certain 
colleges of graduate schools on the model of the faculties of philoso- 
phy of German universities. The graduate schools have grown up 
principally in the last 45 years; indeed, the movement received its 
first strong impetus with the founding of Johns Hopkins University, 
incorporated in 1867 and opened for instruction in 1876. (See Sec. 
VT, p. 194.) The graduate schools offer to college graduates courses 
leading to the degrees of A. M. and Ph. D. and degrees of correspond- 
ing grade in the technical branches. They provide opportunities for 
advanced study in the arts and sciences and for research similar to 
those provided by the leading European universities. 

From the origin of colleges until the foundation of the graduate 
schools the college curriculum, aside from the development of sepa- 
rate courses in science and engineering, had undergone but slight 
changes. A few new subjects had been added to it from time to 
time. Options between certain studies, as, for instance, between a 
modern and an ancient language or between two elementary sciences, 
were slowly introduced. In general, however, the college program 
of studies was fixed and definite, centering about a core of Latin, 
Greek, and mathematics. With the growth of the graduate school 
and the changed social and educational ideals has come the intro- 
duction of many new branches of study. Columbia University, for 
example, now offers to candidates for the bachelor's degree instruc- q 

9 A number of other baccalaureate degrees have also been conferred, such as Ph. B., 
B. Ped., etc., but the present tendency is toward the two older degrees of A. B. and B. S., 
according as the subjects forming the basis of the curriculum are humanistic or scientific. 



12 AMERICAN FACILITIES FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS. 

tion in 45 different subjects. 10 Its offerings are almost paralleled by 
a number of other institutions. 

The prescribed course of study for the bachelor's degree has broken 
down, and there is now a general tendency to confine required work 
to but two or three subjects and to allow the student much freedom 
of choice with respect to the rest of his program ; or to offer various 
groups of studies organized to correlate with a single central subject 
and to permit the student to choose one of these groups. Even those 
colleges which have not extended upward into graduate schools, 
which still grant no degrees higher than the baccalaureate, have felt 
and have responded to this tendency. 

THE UNIVEESITY PEOPEK. 

The college is the nucleus from which all higher institutions of 
learning have sprung. Before the nineteenth century there were no 
universities in the modern sense of the word. With the rise of pro- 
fessional schools of theology, law, and medicine, most of which were 
outgrowths of colleges already established, American institutions 
began to approach university organization. The name " university " 
came also into common use to designate an institution composed of a 
college and one or more professional schools each under the control 
of a separate faculty. German influence was the dominant force 
in American higher education for many j^ears, and the universities 
of the United States were deliberately molded to the German type. 
The establishment of the graduate schools marked the final step in 
this evolution, the four traditional faculties of the German uni- 
versity — theology, law, medicine, and philosophy — being thus rep- 
resented. 

But the modern American university is more. complex in organiza- 
tion than its Germanic prototype. It has added other schools or divi- 
sions. 11 Schools of dentistry, of various branches of engineering, of 
agriculture, of veterinary medicine, etc., are now frequently included 
in a single university. 12 The University of California, for instance, 
has 19 such schools or divisions ; the University of Chicago, 10 ; the 

10 Compare p. 14. 

11 In some institutions the various divisions are also called colleges, as, for example, 
college of medicine, college of education, etc. The accepted nomenclature is now the fol- 
lowing : A " college " is an institution requiring for admission graduation from a standard 
secondary school, or the equivalent, and offering a four-year curriculum leading to the 
first degree in arts or science, of such character as to qualify for admission to a graduate 
school of recognized standing. 

The term " school," as applied to part of a university, is restricted to that part the 
standard of admission to which is not less than the equivalent of two years' work in the 
college, and which offers instruction of not less than two years' duration, leading to a 
technical or professional degree. 

The term " division " is restricted to the larger administrative units of a college or 
university ; as, for instance, the extension division, the division of agriculture, the divi- 
sion of arts and sciences. 

12 Thus, for instance, the type of institutions known as tne Technische Hochsc'-iule in 
Germany, or the lScole Polytechnique in France, is in the United States commonly a 
school or division of the university. 



ORGANIZATION OF EDUCATION IN UNITED STATES. 13 

University of Illinois, 13 ; the University of Michigan, 8. As each 
new profession develops, a special division designed to give the 
training requisite for it is added to the university. In this manner, 
schools or colleges of commerce, of business administration, of domes- 
tic science, of ceramics, and of journalism have recently been estab- 
lished at a number of the larger universities. The process will un- 
doubtedly continue with the further multiplication of the professions. 

The term " university," however, has as yet no fixed connotation. 
The laws of the several States governing the incorporation of higher 
institutions vary greatly. Some require substantial assurance that 
an institution applying for charter will conform to the accepted 
standards of the designation which it seeks. In some States, on the 
other hand, it is possible to secure a university charter on the strength 
of prospects and good intentions alone. Even before the evolution of 
true universities, it was common for colleges offering nothing but a 
single course leading to the bachelor's degree to be chartered as uni- 
versities. The name, therefore, antedated the thing. Many of these 
colleges still retain the name without having developed into univer- 
sities. In certain sections of the country and in the minds of certain 
persons the college and the university are thus very naturally con- 
fused. No distinction is made between the two institutions. This 
confusion is the more readily understood if one recalls the fact that 
practically all the larger, thoroughly organized universities maintain 
a college of arts and sciences. A student who attends the college of 
arts and sciences of Cornell or the college of letters of the University 
of California is a member of the university and by tacit consent is 
allowed to call himself a " university student ; " but his educational 
status is exactly the same as that of a student of Amherst College or 
Hamilton College, neither of which has any professional departments. 
Yet the student of the isolated college, like the two just mentioned, 
calls himself a " college student." 

In the references made to universities throughout this pamphlet 
the term will be used in its strictest sense, i. e., to designate institu- 
tions maintaining professional divisions and conferring advanced 
degrees. Of these, there are already several score in the United 
States. 

A comparative view of the best American universities would show 
an organization of schools and divisions substantially as recorded 
below. Not all the divisions mentioned are represented in every one 
of the strongest universities. This summary is intended rather to 
show the scope of university education than to describe conditions 
actually existing in any particular university. Detailed accounts of 
the organization and requirements of certain institutions selected to 
illustrate the best developments of American higher education appear 
in Section VI.

CHAPTER IL 

ORGANIZATION OF THE TYPICAL UNIVERSITY. 

THE COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES. 

The core of every university, except one, 13 is the college, variously 
called the college of arts and sciences, the college of letters, the col- 
lege of liberal arts, etc. Whatever its name, its scope and character 
are everywhere approximately the same. It offers to graduates of 
secondary schools 14 a four-year course of study, leading usually to 
the degree of bachelor of arts or bachelor of science, or some other 
baccalaureate degree. 15 Generally the work is in part prescribed ac- 
cording to one of two methods. Certain subjects, such as English, 
one or more modern languages, Latin, a science, history, and mathe- 
matics are required of all students; or the courses are arranged in 
groups centering about a single subject, and each student may choose 
the group which best suits his individual tastes and purposes, In 
either case, a considerable portion of his course is elective; i. e., he 
may select at will from the subjects offered by the college enough to 
make up the number of courses required for graduation. 

The undergraduate division of Harvard University, called Har- 
vard College, gives instruction in the following subjects : 

Anthropology, astronomy, botany, Celtic, chemistry, classical arch- 
aeology, classical philology, comparative literature, comparative phi- 
lology, economics, education, Egyptology, engineering sciences, Eng- 
lish, fine arts, French, geology and geography, German, government, 
Greek, history, history of religions, history of science, hygiene and 
sanitation, Indie philology, Italian, Latin, mathematics, military 
science, mineralogy and petrography, music, Netherlandish, palaeon- 
tology, philosophy, physics, physiology, public speaking, Romance 
languages and literatures, Romance philology, Scandinavian, Semitic 
languages and history, Slavic languages, social ethics, Spanish zool- 
ogy. This list will indicate the possible range of undergraduate 
study in the best American universities. 

Collegiate instruction is carried on by means of lectures, recita- 
tions, discussions, laboratory practice, and various kinds of written 

13 Clark University. 

14 In addition to the public high schools (see above), there are many private secondary 
schools which offer four or five year courses and which maintain approximately the same 
standards as the public high schools. The curriculum of the secondary school is discussed 
below (see p. 106). Students from other countries may enter American universities upon 
presenting evidence of preparation equivalent to that demanded of American students. 
The colleges of arts and sciences of most universities give entrance examinations to can- 
didates for admission whose scholastic preparation has been secured in a school the stand- 
ing of which is unknown to the university officers. (See also p. 59, and following.) 

15 There is still a wide variation in the standards of collegiate institutions, and conse 
quently in the value of degrees. For further discussion of this condition, see note 26. p. 24.

exercises. In the work of the first two years and in the elementary 
courses in all subjects, it has a tendency to be somewhat formal. 
The instructors assign definite tasks at each meeting of the class : A 
certain portion of the subject is to be mastered, a prescribed labora- 
tory experiment is to be performed, a theme written on a specified 
subject, or a fixed number of pages read. At a subsequent meeting, 
students are tested on the assignment. In the later years of the 
course there is less formal prescription, and the student is thrown as 
far as possible on his own resources. His knowledge is tested by 
periodic examinations. 

Because of the long period devoted to elementary and secondary 
training, American college students are generally older than students 
of other countries who have reached the same stage of academic 
advancement. The average age of entrance to American colleges is 
between 18 and 19 3^ears, the average age of graduation between 22 
and 23. A few colleges, however, allow students to complete the 
course in three years by taking extra work. 

THE COLLEGE OR SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING. 

Coordinate with the college of arts and sciences is the school or 
college of applied science or engineering. This offers to graduates 
of secondary schools a four-year course leading to the degree of 
B. S. in some division of engineering, e. g., civil, mechanical, mining, 
metallurgical, electrical, hydraulic, architectural, chemical, and sani- 
tary engineering. 16 In some institutions work in these various 
branches is organized in separate schools, e. g., school of mining 
engineering, school -of civil engineering. The first part of the cur- 
ricula in engineering is devoted particularly to a thorough grounding 
in mathematics, plrysics, and chemistry, the fundamental sciences 
upon which all engineering work rests. The course of study for the 
first year is frequently uniform for students in all branches of engi- 
neering ; indeed, the present tendency is toward a still greater measure 
of uniformity in the early years, followed by specialization in the last 
year or the last two years. 

The school or college of engineering is in the scheme of American 
education an undergraduate division coordinate with the college of 
liberal arts, admitting students with the same preparation and giving 
its graduates the bachelor's degree. 17 It is, nevertheless, in spirit 
and tendency a professional school, fitting young men for the immedi- 
ate practice of their professions as a means of livelihood. This fact 
affects the college of engineering in two ways. In the first place, its 

1S The degree given on the completion of one of these courses is not always B. S. Cor- 
nell, for example, gives the degree of M. E. to thosa who have completed courses in me- 
chanical, eleetrieal, or mining engineering. 

17 A few institutions, e. g., Columbia, have made the school of engineering or applied 
science a graduate department. (See Sec, VI, and p. 219.)

efficiency as a training school is constantly tested by the success of its 
graduates in actual professional work. It suffers the consequences 
without delay if its standards are not kept high. The college of 
liberal arts, whose purpose is to give general culture, is subjected to 
no such test. 

Secondly, and as a result of its professional obligations, the work 
of the engineering school is for the most part more concrete and prac- 
tical than that of the college of liberal arts. Not only in the extensive 
well-equipped laboratories and machine shops of the university itself, 
but in shops and factories of industrial organizations and in the field, 
the engineer in training is given an opportunity to perform those 
operations by which he may later earn his living. 

The course of study of the engineering division is determined 
by the requirements of the profession. Most of it, therefore, is pre- 
scribed. Choice from among the various branches of engineering 
represented furnishes the principal opportunity for election. 

Kecently a tendency to lengthen the period of preparation for the 
profession of engineering has manifested itself. Several leading 
universities now offer five and six-year courses in the various en- 
gineering branches. Five-year courses, which are the commoner, 
include either a considerable amount of work in the college of arts 
and sciences designed to broaden the student's cultural training or 
a more extended specialization in the branch of engineering which 
the student has chosen. The degrees of E. E., M. E., C. E., A. E., 
and Arch, are generally awarded at the end of these more highly 
specialized courses. Such degrees rank higher than the degree of 
B. S. 

Postgraduate work leading to the degrees of M. S., Ph. D., and 
Sc. D. in the engineering sciences is now given also at several of the 
foremost universities. The conditions of study for these degrees, 
whether in the engineering sciences or in pure science and the arts, 
are similar. They will be discussed under the caption "The Grad- 
uate School." (See below.) The increasing facilities for advanced 
study and research. in the various lines of engineering represented 
by the five-year courses and the graduate courses just referred to 
indicate a tendency to prolong the period of general and special 
training of the engineer until it occupies as many years of the course 
as the training for the older professions. 

THE COLLEGE OR SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE. 

In 1862 the United States Congress, under the Morrill Act, made 
to each State grants of public lands, the proceeds from the sale of 
which were to form a fund for the maintenance of colleges of agri- 
culture and the mechanic arts. 18 Later acts provided for annual 



18 Mechanic arts arc interpreted to mean chiefly the various branches of engineering. 



ORGANIZATION OF THE TYPICAL UNIVERSITY. 17 

appropriations by the Federal Government for the support of these 
institutions and for the promotion of agricultural research and dem- 
onstration. 19 In the 57 years since the passage of the original act, 
these so-called land-grant colleges have become among the most im- 
portant agencies for training in the technical professions. In a 
number of States the land grant made possible the foundation of a 
State university, and the State university of 20 States is now legally 
designated a land-grant college. 20 Several of these institutions, for 
instance, the University of Wisconsin, the University of Illinois, the 
University of Minnesota, and the University of California are among 
the largest and best-equipped State universities in the country. The 
State governments have also made increasingly liberal appropria- 
tions for the support of these departments of the State institutions. 
Consequently, agriculture and the mechanic arts occupy an especially 
favored position among professional studies. 

The engineering branches, which were discussed briefly in the pre- 
ceding section, are taught at many other institutions than land-grant 
colleges ; in fact, nearly every full-fledged university, public or pri- 
vate, maintains an engineering division and there are numerous 
special schools of engineering as well. But the land-grant colleges 
have a practical monopoly of professional instruction in agriculture. 
In describing a college of agriculture as an integral part of a typical 
American university, attention is therefore called to the fact that 
these colleges are, with few exceptions, to be found only in connec- 
tion with the 20 State universities which are land- grant institutions. 

The typical college of agriculture, then, offers to graduates of a 
secondary school a four-year course in agriculture leading to the 
degree of B. S. Like the colleges of enginering, the colleges of 
agriculture are often subdivided, schools of forestry and home eco- 
nomics being the commonest of these subdivisions. The work of 
each course combines instruction in the general sciences, languages,, 
and mathematics, with technical instruction in agriculture and actual 
practice in the laboratories, dairies, barns, and on the farms con- 
nected with the university. 

Special agricultural schools of secondary grade are also maintained 
in connection with a few State institutions, e. g., the University of 
Minnesota, Colorado Agricultural College, Clemson Agricultural 
College (South Carolina). 

19 In 1914 Congress provided for an annual appropriation of $10,000 to each State for 
extension instruction in agriculture and home economics. This sum is further supple- 
mented by increasing annual appropriations for the same purpose, beginning in 1915-16, 
and eventually reaching the total of $4,100,000, to be distributed among the States in 
proportion to the rural population in each. 

20 In 19 other States the land-grant college is a separate foundation, independent of the 
State university, and often rivaling it in student enrollment and in the excellence of its 
undergraduate courses, especially in pure and applied science.

18 AMERICAN FACILITIES FOB. FOREIGN STUDENTS. 

The college of agriculture is a professional school. Its first pur- 
pose is to train students for the intelligent practice of their profes- 
sion. This is the principal object of the four-year course just men- 
tioned. But as a State institution, largely supported by State- funds, 
the college of agriculture has obligations toward the State. It can 
serve the State materially by disseminating agricultural informa- 
tion among the farmers of the State who have not had a chance for 
professional training. Most colleges of agriculture are now at- 
tempting to do this. Short courses ranging from 1 to 14 weeks have 
been established for farmers. The university also sends lecturers 
and demonstrators among rural communities to give practical in- 
struction on the farms themselves. 

A third important function of the colleges of agriculture is to ex- 
tend the science of agriculture by means of experiments and investi- 
gations. In this work also the Federal Government has lent assist- 
ance. Under an act of 1887 agricultural experiment stations were 
established in every State, and an annual appropriation of $15,000 
was set aside for their support. This annual appropriation has since 
been increased to $30,000. In most States where the land-grant col- 
lege and the State university are united, the experiment station is at- 
tached to the university. It furnishes unsurpassed facilities for agri- 
cultural research. 

THE COLLEGE OR SCHOOL OF VETERINARY MEDICINE. 

Several prominent universities and colleges of agriculture and 
mechanic arts now maintain schools of veterinary medicine, which 
provide instruction in the causes and treatment of animal diseases 
and in the principles of sanitary science as applied to live stock, 
The large proportion of the Nation's wealth invested in live stock, the 
dependence of agriculture upon it, and the influence of certain animal 
diseases, notably tuberculosis, upon the health of the community 
give special importance to the profession of veterinary medicine. 

The typical college of veterinary medicine offers to graduates of a 
secondary school a three-year course leading to the degree of D. V. M. 
or V. M. D. The course itself is closely prescribed. It combines 
instruction in the fundamental medical sciences — chemistry, anatomy, 
and physiology — with such special branches as animal pathology, sur- 
gery, and veterinary medicine. Clinical instruction is given in the 
veterinary hospitals connected with the school. There is generally 
provision also for graduate work in special branches of veterinar} 7 
science. 21 

THE COLLEGE OR SCHOOL OF COMMERCE. 

Among the more recent additions to American universities are the 
schools or colleges of commerce or business administration. The 

21 New York Stale Veterinary College, at Cornell, offers an optional four-year' course in 
veterinary medicine. 



ORGANIZATION OF THE TYPICAL UNIVERSITY. 19 

typical college of commerce offers to graduates of secondary schools 
a four-year course leading to the degree of B. S. or A. B. The first 
part of the course is largely devoted to such foundational subjects 
as mathematics, English, natural sciences, modern foreign languages, 
history, and economics. These are followed in the last two years by 
the broader technical subjects designed to give general preparation 
for business life, such as various phases of business administration, 
commercial law, and advanced economics. 

THE COLLEGE OR SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM. 

Schools of journalism are also among the newer developments at 
several universities. These offer to graduates of secondary schools a 
four-year course leading to the bachelor's degree (A. B., B. Litt., 
B.-J.). The foundation of the work in the schools of journalism is 
largely composed of courses in the social sciences and English, which 
are designed to familiarize the student with present economic and 
social conditions and to develope his power of written expression. 
These courses cover about two years and are followed by technical 
instruction in the methods of modern journalism. This includes 
actual practice in reporting, interviewing, and newspaper editing. 
The aim of all these schools is voiced in the official announcement of 
the school of journalism of Columbia University. It is " to make bet- 
ter journalists, who will make better newspapers, which will better 
serve the public." 

THE COLLEGE OR SCHOOL OF PHARMACY. 

The schools of pharmacy, which are now included in most of the 
larger universities, usually offer courses leading to three different de- 
grees — Ph. G., Ph. C, and B. S. in Pharmacy or Phar. B. The en- 
trance requirements are substantially the same as for those schools 
and departments already described. The degree of Ph. G. (graduate 
in pharmacy) is conferred at the end of a two-year course, consisting 
chiefly of instruction in botany, analytical chemistry, and pharmacy. 
Several (States demand as a prerequisite for a license to practice the 
profession of pharmacist either a certain amount of practical ex- 
perience in a place where drugs and medicines are compounded or 
dispensed or a course of instruction in a school of pharmacy. Courses 
in pharmacy are adjusted to meet these requirements. 

The course leading to the degree of Ph. C. (pharmaceutical 
chemist) is three years in length. It is " designed more especially 
for those who wish to enter the commercial field of pharmaceutical 
chemistry or food and drug analysis." 22 More advanced instruction 
in pharmacy is given, together with such general studies as sciences 
and foreign languages. 

23 Quoted from the catalogue of the University of Wisconsin. 



20 AMERICAN FACILITIES FOE FOREIGN STUDENTS. 

The four-year course leading to the degree of B. S. in Pharmacy 
includes a combination of cultural studies and the advanced work in 
pharmacy taken by the candidates for the degree of Ph. C. 

Opportunities for specialized graduate study and research in some 
department of pharmacy are frequently offered in the graduate 
schools of leading universities. The aims and methods of graduate 
study are essentially the same whatever the department. They are 
described below. (See under "Graduate School.") The degrees 
of A. M., M. S., Ph. D., Sc. D., and occasionally Phar. D., are con- 
ferred upon graduate students in pharmacy. 

THE COLLEGE OK SCHOOL OF DENTISTRY. 

The organization of 29 American universities and colleges now 
includes a school of dentistry, which offers to graduates of secondary 
schools a three-year course leading to the degree of D. D. S. or D. 
M. D. The curriculum provides first for a study of those elementary 
scientific subjects which form the groundwork of training in medi- 
cine: Anatomy, chemistry, bacteriology, physiology, and pathology. 
Instruction accompanied by extended clinical and laboratory prac- 
tice, in operative and prosthetic dentistry follows. The clinics of 
the best American dental schools furnish each student ample oppor- 
tunity for practice in all branches of dentistry. 

Although dentistry is a separate profession, and although training 
for it is quite fittingly carried on in a special professional school, 
nevertheless there is growing recognition of the fact that it is a branch 
of medical science. There has arisen in consequence a tendency to 
emphasize the affiliation of dental and medical education. Seven 
dental schools are now departments of medical schools. One State 
has already passed a law requiring that hereafter all practitioners 
of dentistry shall hold a medical degree. While there seems to be no 
immediate prospect that other States will take- the same radical 
action, there is a very decided trend of opinion in the direction of 
lengthening the course in dentistry from three to four years. A 
number of dental schools are meeting this demand for further sci- 
entific training by offering postgraduate courses open to holders of 
degrees in dentistry and to others who have had practical experience. 

It is appropriate to call attention to the excellence of American 

dental schools and clinics. The conspicuous success of American 

practitioners of dentistry is without doubt largely due to the splendid 

facilities for training in the profession that have been developed in 

- the United States. 

THE COLLEGE OR SCHOOL OF EDUCATION. 

Among the important contributions which the United States has 
made to professional training may be counted the creation of special 



ORGANIZATION OF THE TYPICAL UNIVERSITY. 21 

schools of education. Normal schools organized principally for 
the training of elementary-school teachers have existed for a long 
time. They owe their origin to European experiments in the same 
direction. 23 But the schools of education whose aim is to prepare 
prospective high-school teachers, school principals, supervisors, and 
superintendents of city school systems, are relatively new and dis- 
tinctly American institutions. Their establishment has come about 
because of the evident need of trained teachers and directing officers 
to carry on the work of public secondary education and the adminis- 
tration of school systems. With a few exceptions they have attained 
most vigorous growth in the States where the State university 
occupies a position of educational leadership. (But see especially 
the accounts of the organization of Columbia University, University 
of Chicago, and University of Missouri, Section VI, pp. 176-78, 
212-13, 219-22.) 

The typical school of education offers to graduates of secondary 
schools a four-year course leading to the bachelor's degree. 24 The 
course usually combines three distinct elements: General training 
in the arts and sciences, specialization in one or two subjects which 
the candidate pr®poses to teach later, and instruction in the theory 
and practice of teaching. 

Among the the strictly professional subjects emphasis is laid on 
educational psychology, the history and philosophy of education, and 
the organization and management of schools. The best-equipped 
schools of education now provide opportunities also for students to 
observe skillful teaching and for practice teaching under supervision. 

There is a marked tendency toward extending the scholastic range 
of schools of education, and consequently increasing the amount 
of professional training demanded of secondary-school teachers. 
The addition of a fifth year to the course in education is a manifesta- 
tion of this tendency. At the completion of the longer course, the 
degree of A. M. is conferred. In this way the school of education is 
gradually merging into the graduate school. It will probably not be 
long before the general cultural and informational subjects will be 
relegated to the college of letters, and the school of education will 
advance to the rank of a graduate school offering purely professional 
instruction to college graduates. Graduate courses in education 
leading to the degree of doctor of philosophy are now commonly 
offered by the graduate departments of the best universities. 

23 A discussion of normal-school education lies without the scope of this bulletin. In 
general, it may be said that the entrance requirements of the best normal schools are 
similar to those of the colleges of arts and sciences. For high-school graduates the course 
is usually two or three years, with emphasis on the theory and practice of pedadogy. It 
often leads to a special degree. Any foreign student who is interested in normal-school 
training is urged to apply to the Bureau of Education for full information. 

24 j± great variety of bachelor's degrees are granted for work in education, e. g., B. Fed., 
B. Litt., A. B., B. S. in Education, and so on.

THE OLDER PROFESSIONS. 

The group of schools just described furnish training for those pro- 
fessions which are of comparatively recent origin or which have but 
lately risen to the dignity of special prefessional preparation. The 
professional beginnings of theology, law, and medicine, on the other 
hand, run back to the founding of the European universities. A cer- 
tain superior prestige has attached to these older callings, even in a 
democracy like the United States. This has been reflected in the 
effort of the schools of theology, law, and medicine to enforce a 
higher standard of attainment for admission and for graduation than 
has yet been adopted by the other departments. They therefore 
may be said to form a second and more advanced order of profes- 
sional institutes inside the general organization of the university. 

TEE COLLEGE OR SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY, OR THE DIVINITY SCHOOL. 

The oldest of all professional schools in the United States is the 
school of theology or the divinity school. Indeed, the college itself, 
as has been explained, was established to train an enlightened min- 
istry for the Christian (Protestant) Church. Theological instruction 
has therefore always been a part of the curriculum of the oldest 
universities. They were themselves theological schools until they 
consigned theology to a special department, which has happened 
generally within the last century. 

The modern theological school is either frankly a sectarian school, 
or else it has become what the uncompromising fathers of the Nation 
would have deemed impossible— a nonsectarian school of theology 
attempting to study " all matters connected with theology * * * 
in a spirit as free as that in which philosophy, history, and the 
classical literature are studied in our colleges." 25 In mentioning the 
requirements and scope of the typical school of theology, it is under- 
stood that these schools are almost exclusively connected with de- 
nominational universities or else are entirely independent insti- 
tutions. 

The stronger schools of Protestant theology offer to graduates of a 
college of recognized standing, or to others who can show equivalent 
preparation, a three-year course leading to the degree of B. D. or 
S. T. B. The course is almost entirely professional, varying as to 
theological bias with the denomination which maintains the school. 

The entrance requirements for Catholic schools of theology are 
somewhat higher. (See Section VI, pp. 166-69, Catholic University 
of America.) 

26 Quoted from the announcement of the Harvard Divinity School. 



ORGANIZATION OF THE TYPICAL UNIVERSITY. 23 

THE COLLEGE OK SCHOOL OF LAW. 

English and American legal systems differ radically from those 
of most other nations. Because of this fact, foreign students will 
probably not be attracted in any large numbers to American law 
schools for the purpose of fitting themselves for the immediate prac- 
tice of their profession at home. Nevertheless, there is a growing 
conviction among lawyers and jurists that a knowledge both of Eng- 
lish common law and the code systems of continental Europe and 
Latin America is very valuable to the legal practitioner of any 
country. The spirit and motives of a country are reflected in its 
laws. An acquaintance with the latter tends to broaden interna- 
tional sympathies. It is for this reason, as well as to complete the 
account of the component parts of the American university, that the 
1 law school is mentioned here. Attention is called especially to the 
excellent courses in jurisprudence, international law, and diplomacy 
offered by the following institutions: Columbia University, Yale 
University, George Washington University, Harvard University, and 
the Law School of the Tulane University of Louisiana. The legal 
system of the State of Louisiana is based on the Spanish system, and 
is therefore closely related to the systems of the Latin-American 
countries. Detailed accounts of the offerings of these institutions 
may be found on pages 164-66, 170-71, 192-94, 197-200, 219-22. 

The best American law schools now offer to students who have had 
at least two years of collegiate training a three-year course in common 
and statute law, leading to the degree of LL. B. 

THE SCHOOL OK COLLEGE OF MEDICINE. 

No other professional schools connected with American universities 
have made such noteworthy and gratifying advances within recent 
years as the schools of medicine. There have been three conspicuous 
lines of progress : The growth of laboratory equipment through lib- 
eral State appropriations and private benefactions, the increase in 
hospital facilities, and the raising of standards of admission. As a 
result of these developments the best medical schools of the United 
States are now unsurpassed in physical equipment, and demand as 
thorough preparation for entrance and graduation as do those of 
other leading nations. 

The high standards recommended by the American Medical Asso- 
ciation and put into practice by the more progressive schools of 
medicine have been rendered permanent by the subsequent action of 
numerous State licensing boards which fix the educational prepara- 
tion to be required of practitioners of medicine in their respective 



24 AMERICAN FACILITIES FOR, FOREIGN STUDENTS. 

States. Medical education 26 has therefore attained a status conso- 
nant with the antiquity and importance of the profession. 

As a division of the university, the medical school now ranks with 
the schools devoted to training* for the other traditional callings. 

The typical medical schools of the best universities require for 
entrance a four-year high-school course, including two years of 
Latin, and two years of college work, which must include at least a 
year each of physics, chemistry, and biology, and sufficient German 
and French to insure a reading knowledge of those languages. To 
such students the medical school offers a four-year course, consisting 
of laboratory, didactic, and clinical instruction in the theory and 
practice of medicine, and leading to the degree of M. D. Associated 
with all high-grade medical schools are hospitals, in which medical 
students study at first hand diseases and their treatment and in 
which they serve as internes. 

Included in the " ideal standard " set up by the American Medical 
Association is the recommendation that a fifth year be added to the 
medical course, in which the student shall act as interne in a hospital. 
This recommendation has already been adopted by several of the 
leading medical schools of the country. Others, while not including 
the year's interneship in the medical course, provide ample facilities 
for their graduates to secure this privilege. 

. A recent development in medical education has been the establish- 
ment of postgraduate courses in medicine devoted chiefly to advanced 
study and research. As yet there has been no general organization of 
these courses into curricula leading to higher medical degrees. Atten- 

26 Students from other countries who are unfamiliar with American educational condi- 
tions should remember that there are many medical schools of low standing and propri- 
etary institutions which exploit this or that therapeutic revelation. One of the results of 
State autonomy in education is the irregularity of State requirements for professional 
practice, not only in medicine, but in law, pharmacy, and other professions. Licensing 
regulations in many States are still lax. Moreover, as has been noted, there is no uni- 
form legislation governing the incorporation of degree-giving institutions. The fact that a 
man bears the title of doctor, therefore, or holds the degree of A. B. or LL. B. gives no 
assurance that his education has been either prolonged or specialized. Unscrupulous per- 
sons and well-meaning but ignorant persons have taken advantage of these conditions to 
establish in many States institutions purporting to give collegiate or professional training, 
but which lack both the physical equipment and the teachers needed to make such training 
effective. A reliable guide to the standing of schools of medicine is the classified list of 
the American Medical Association. (See pp. 262-63.) 

Students seeking other kinds of training, general or professional, may safely attend 
any of the institutions described in this bulletin. They are also invited to correspond 
■with the United States Bureau of Education, which will furnish full and impartial infor- 
mation regarding the offering of any institution, whether included in this publication 
or not. 

In spite of these inequalities among the schools of medicine, it is quite just to empha- 
size the high standards of medical education. The standards are set by the leading insti- 
tutions. There are already 66 recognized as of highest grade by the American Medical 
Association. (See pp. 262-63.) 

The very potent influence of this publicity in bringing about the improvements which 
the association has recommended illustrates strikingly the power of a voluntary educa- 
tional association to affect the policy of institutions over which it has no official control. 
(See p. 9.) 



ORGANIZATION OF THE TYPICAL UNIVERSITY. 25 

tion should be called, however, to one higher medical degree which has 
already gained recognition. This is doctor of public health. The 
degree is conferred upon holders of the degree of M. D. after one or 
two years of postgraduate study devoted to problems of sanitation 
and community diseases and to special research. 

Most large universities now provide for a six or seven year course, 
combining work in the department of arts and sciences with the 
course in medicine and leading to the two degrees A. B. (or B. S.) 
and M. D. 

Students from tropical countries will be especially interested in the 
very excellent courses in tropical medicine offered by the medical 
schools of the Tulane University of Louisiana and Harvard Uni- 
versity. 

THE GRADUATE SCHOOL. 

The capstone of the American university is the graduate school of 
arts and sciences. Originally planned to correspond to the faculty of 
philosophy of the German university and offering instruction merely 
in pure science and the humanities, the graduate school has far out- 
grown the first conception of its function. The graduate school of 
the large American university now usually organizes into one admin- 
istrative unit 27 all the advanced teaching and all the facilities for 
original research provided by the university in any of its depart- 
ments. Under this arrangement holders of the bachelor's degree who 
desire to specialize, for example, in engineering, in medical science, or 
in pharmacy, as well as in pure science and the humanities, enter the 
graduate school. 

The American graduate school has a double aim. Chronologically, 
the first is to teach to properly prepared students the most advanced 
and specialized phases of the subjects offered by the university. More 
important, however, if second in point of development, is its obliga- 
tion to increase the sum of human knowledge. Research is the life 
blood of the graduate school. The graduate school is differentiated 
from the ordinary professional schools by being devoted to the prin- 
ciple of research. As a rule, schools of medicine and engineering, for 
instance, aim primarily to pass on to the student a body of knowledge 
which is already organized and of accepted professional value, and 
so to train practitioners of already standardized professions. The 
graduate school places first emphasis upon the advancement of learn- 

27 This consolidation is not effected everywhere ; for example, Columbia University main- 
tains a faculty of philosophy, a faculty of political science, and a faculty of pure science ; 
Harvard University has a graduate school of arts and sciences, a graduate school of busi- 
ness administration, a graduate school of applied biology, and a graduate school of medi- 
cine. The general description of the functions and facilities of the graduate school 
applies equally, however, to these and to other institutions which have not combined 
graduate departments into a single unit. 



26 AMERICAN FACILITIES FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS. 

ing. Its teachers are expected to be actively engaged in extending 
the boundaries of knowledge and to direct students in the conduct of 
investigations. The vitality of the graduate school is properly 
judged by the amount and quality of its creative output. 

Training for productive scholarship is still young in the United 
States. In view of its aims the graduate school is less susceptible 
to standardization than the schools already described. Its excellence 
will always depend in large measure on the fertility and originality 
of its teachers. No two schools, however skillfully administered, 
can be equal or equally strong throughout; nor, on the other 
hand, is a single school ever likely to have a monopoly of teaching 
and investigating talent in all lines. One will perhaps be preeminent 
in psychology, another in economics, another in chemistry. This 
variation inheres in graduate study. It has always characterized 
the research departments of European universities, which have had a 
considerably longer history. 

Granting these inevitable inequalities, it is worthy of note that the 
great independent institutions of the East and the best- developed 
State universities of the West and Middle West have taken the steps 
needed to secure a high general level of graduate instruction. They 
have invested enormous sums in library and laboratory equipment 
and have vied with one another in seeking as teachers the most dis- 
tinguished scholars, wherever they might be found. As a result of 
these efforts, no better material facilities for advanced study and 
research now exist anywhere. Certain American professors also 
rank with the leaders in their respective branches and have won 
international recognition. In fact, no other department of Ameri- 
can higher education except the medical school has experienced so 
rapid and substantial development. Most graduate schools have 
been established within 25 years. National appreciation of the value 
of research, which has made this last expansion of the university 
possible, is hardly 15 years old; yet the enrollment in graduate 
courses in the United States has increased from 4,340 in 1893 to 7,911 
in 1903, and to 14,406 in 1918. A correspondingly increased volume 
of scientific monographs has issued from the universities. 

It is therefore safe to say that the students from abroad will now 
find in the graduate schools of the foremost American universities 
opportunities for special training and for research broadly equiva- 
lent to those provided by the faculties of philosophy and the scien- 
tific institutes of the universities of Europe. Such students will 
naturally seek those institutions which oifer the best facilities and 
which possess the most eminent teachers in the particular lines in 
which they are interested. 

A subordinate function of the graduate school has been the train- 
ing of teachers for higher institutions. Indeed it is now customary 



ORGANIZATION OF THE TYPICAL UNIVERSITY. 27 

for appointing authorities to demand of candidates for higher teach- 
ing positions a more or less extended period of graduate study. 
Nevertheless there has been as yet no general adaptation of graduate 
courses to the professional needs of the prospective teacher. Ameri- 
can graduate schools, like the universities of Europe, have in this 
matter proceeded on the assumption that the most important thing 
for the teacher of mature pupils is to know his subject. The method 
of its presentation may then safely be left to his individual judgment. 

The typical American graduate school admits as students only 
those who hold a bachelor's degree from a college or university of 
recognized standing. It confers two orders of degrees, the master's 
degrees 28 and the doctor's degrees. 29 

To secure a master's degree one year of postgraduate study, de- 
voted as a rule to not more than three subjects, one of which, called 
the major subject, receives the bulk of the student's attention, is 
usually required. 30 Many universities also demand a thesis embody- 
ing the results of a small piece of research. 

The minimum period of postgraduate study for a doctor's degree 
is usually three years. The time spent and the number of courses 
taken, however, are of secondary importance. To receive the degree 
it is necessary that the candidate not only demonstrate in examina- 
tion his mastery of his special field but also by means of a dissertation 
or thesis make an original contribution to knowledge in that field. 
Most universities require the dissertation to be published. The ex- 
aminations are both written and oral. In fact, the requirements for 
the American degree of doctor of philosophy parallel closely those 
proposed by the German universities for the same degree. But 
American universities have recently attempted to demand of candi- 
dates for the degree a somewhat longer scholarly preparation and a 
more substantial thesis. 

THE SUMMER SCHOOL. 

The academic year is as a rule approximately nine months long. 
It usually extends from the middle of September to the middle of 
June. Many universities and colleges now either maintain a special 
summer school during about six weeks of the vacation period or carry 
on a summer session lasting throughout the summer months. Sum- 
mer schools, which generally are confined to the undergraduate and 
graduate departments of arts and sciences, serve two main purposes. 
They enable teachers in elementary and secondary schools to pursue

Johns Hopkins Universities. (See Section VI, pp. 164-66, 194-96.)

special courses of study for professional advancement. They offer 
opportunities to college or university students who have failed to 
complete all the work required in the regular term to make good these 
deficiencies. In addition, summer schools are to some extent patron- 
ized by other classes of persons. While in the majority of summer 
schools the courses are planned with special reference to the needs of 
teachers, nevertheless the student whose interests are not peda- 
gogical generally finds summer courses in most of the subjects ordi- 
narily offered by the institution during the regular winter terms. 
The more advanced courses usually are not given in summer. 

Summer schools present special attractions to the foreign student. 
If he happens to arrive in the United States in June or early July, 
he may profitably use his time and prepare himself for his later reg- 
ular matriculation by enrolling in a good summer school. Oppor- 
tunities for the study of English are commonly offered. After he 
has begun his collegiate or professional course he may shorten the 
period of study and also learn something of different universities by 
frequenting summer schools. It is possible to complete from a sixth 
to a quarter of a year's work during a summer course. 

EQUIPMENT. 

Such is the organization of a typical American university, but no 
account of these institutions, however brief, would be accurate unless 
it mentioned the astounding array of material appliances possessed 
by almost every one. In no other country has education been the 
recipient of such large and numerous benefactions from philanthropic 
men and women. The greatest of these have gone to American 
universities. Furthermore, the prosperous Commonwealths have 
contributed huge sums for the equipment of their State institutions. 
Certain of the richer universities are provided with almost every- 
thing they can possibly need to make their work effective. 31 A 
description of a single great university plant would occupy too much 
space to be included in such a brief survey as this, but a citizen of an- 
other country who has never seen an American institution may form 
some idea of the magnitude of these establishments by the subjoined 
statements of the value of grounds and buildings of leading universi- 
ties as reported to the United States Government: University of 
Illinois, $4,758,621 ; University of Michigan, $5,285,053 ; University 
of Wisconsin, $7,086,799 ; Cornell University, $7,739,700 ; University 
of California, $11,400,891 ; University of Chicago, $11,698,223. 

21 For statements of laboratory and library facilities, see Section VI. Special attention 
is called to the immense and rapidly growing libraries of the higher institutions. 



INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS. 29 

SPECIAL RESEARCH FOUNDATIONS. 

American higher education has recently been reinforced by a 
group of special foundations established to further scientific and 
sociological research. Most of these owe their origin to the gener- 
osity of a single individual of large means. While not educational 
institutions, these foundations have made possible numerous investi- 
gations which have not only affected educational thought and prac- 
tice, but have also raised the prestige of science throughout the United 
States. They should therefore be reckoned among the scientific re- 
sources of the Nation. Prominent among these institutions are the 
Eussell Sage Foundation, the Carnegie Institution, the General Edu- 
cation Board, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of 
Teaching, and the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. 



CHAPTER III. 

INDEPENDENT TECHNICAL AND PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS. 

In addition to the great universities giving instruction in practi- 
cally all the departments of knowledge and including in their organ- 
ization all types of higher professional schools, there are numerous 
other institutions of less complex organization. In fact, as has al- 
ready been stated, the university is a comparatively recent creation. 
Many of these other schools, colleges, and institutes antedate the 
origin of universities. It is also true that many kinds of professional 
training can be quite as successfully and often as economically car- 
ried on in separate institutions established for that purpose alone. 
Some of the foremost training schools for engineering, medicine, 
dentistry, law, theology, and other callings are independent institu- 
tions not connected with any university. 

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 32 for example, offers 
courses in the various branches of engineering and applied science. 
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute 33 is devoted chiefly to civil, elec- 
trical, mechanical, and chemical engineering. Stevens Institute of 
Technology 34 gives only courses in mechanical engineering. The 
College of Physicians and Surgeons in Baltimore a and Jefferson Med- 
ical School of Philadelphia are not affiliated with universities. Among 
theological schools the majority are independent institutions, as, 
for example, the Newton Theological Institution (Baptist) , the Theo- 
logical Seminary of the General Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran 

* This institution, has since been consolidated with the medical school of the Uni- 
versity of Maryland.

Church in the United States, and nearly all Catholic theological 
seminaries. Several States have established from the proceeds of the 
land grants 35 special colleges of agriculture and mechanic arts sepa- 
rate from the State university, as, for example, the Kansas State 
Agricultural College, the Iowa State College of Agriculture and 
Mechanic Arts. 36 

In range and content the courses given at these independent insti- 
tutions are similar to those of the corresponding professional divi- 
sions of the large universities. Some of the schools of engineering, 
indeed, have become famous throughout the world for the high 
excellence of the work done in one or more departments. 



CHAPTER IV. 

INDEPENDENT AND DENOMINATIONAL COLLEGES. 

Numerically the most important of the institutions not included 
in the organization of some university are the independent colleges 
offering courses in arts and sciences, 37 the majority of which confer 
the bachelor's degree. They present a wide variety of types and 
almost as great a variety of scholastic standards; nevertheless, cer- 
tain generalizations can be made concerning them. 

As a rule the independent colleges give instruction in a more limited 
range of subjects than are open to candidates for bachelor's degrees 
at the larger universities. For instance, as against the 45 branches 
which the Harvard undergraduate may select, Carleton College offers 
work in the following: Astronomy, Bible, biology, chemistry, eco- 
nomics, education, English, German, geology, Greek, Hebrew, his- 
tory, Latin, mathematics, music, philosophy, physical education, 
physics, political science, public speaking, Romance languages, Scan- 
dinavian languages, sociology. Williams College in the following : 
Art, astronomy, biology, chemistry, economics, English, geology, 
German, government and political science, Greek, history, Latin, 
mathematics, military art, philosophy, physics, physiology and hy- 
giene, public speaking, religion, Romance languages. Reed Col- 
lege in the following: Biology, chemistry, classical languages, eco- 
nomics, education, English, Germanic languages, Greek, history and 
political science, Latin, mathematics, philosophy, physics, psychology, 
Romance languages, sociology. 

The curricula of these institutions, then, are more nearly com- 
parable to those of the French lycee and the German Gymnasium 
and Oberrealschule, most of the studies included being sanctioned

by age-long tradition as appropriate training for the first degree in 
arts. 

Reference has been made to the principle of election, in accordance 
with which the student chooses to a greater or less extent the sub- 
jects which shall compose his college course. Certain colleges of high 
standing have from conviction resisted the encroachments of this 
relatively new theory in higher education. For instance, at the 
leading Catholic institutions, which stand committed to a fixed edu- 
cational procedure, courses, in arts offer little freedom of choice. 
The courses leading to the degree of A. B. at Wabash College and 
William Jewell College are also largely prescribed. On the other 
hand, many independent colleges provide as extensive opportunities 
for election as their resources will permit. These differences in aca- 
demic policy may properly have weight with the foreign student 
seeking a collegiate education in the United States. 

The test of the excellence of a college, however, is not the multi- 
plicity of its offerings, but the quality of work done. The stronger 
colleges, perhaps a quarter of the whole number, enforce a standard 
of accomplishment for the bachelor's degree every whit as high as 
that maintained by the best universities. The universities them- 
selves readily concede this. They accept for advanced study the 
holders of degrees from these colleges on the same terms as their 
own graduates. 38 The foreign student need have no hesitation, there- 
fore, in choosing an independent college rather than the collegiate 
division of some larger university as the institution in which to 
secure the A. B. or B. S., provided he assures himself in advance 
that the degrees of the college of his choice are valid educational 
currency. Among the colleges recognized by the larger universities 
are, on the one hand, some 39 which offer instruction only in the 
rather circumscribed group of studies which have for generations 
formed the basis of the A. B. course, and, on the other, institutions 40 
which more nearly approximate the scope of university undergrad- 
uate departments. 

Probably the most striking difference between the independent 
colleges and the universities is the difference in size, which also 

38 At its meeting in 1913, t'he Association of American Universities, composed of the fol- 
lowing 22 institutions — University of California, Leland Stanford Junior University, Yale 
University, Catholic University of America, University of Chicago, University of Illinois, 
Indiana University, University of Iowa, University of Kansas, Johns Hopkins University, 
Harvard University, Clark University, University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, 
University of Missouri, University of Nebraska, Princeton University, Cornell University, 
Columbia University, University of Pennsylvania, University of Virginia, University of 
Wisconsin — recommended that the degrees of 119 American institutions be recognized by 
foreign universities as of equal value with the degrees of the members of the association. 
Of these 118 institutions, 53 were colleges or technical schools of the type under discus^ 
sion. This list has since been extended. 

39 For example, Albion College. 

40 For instance, Oberlin College. 



32 AMERICAN FACILITIES FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS. 

involves a profound difference in the institutional life. The inde- 
pendent college is commonly known as the small college, for the 
reason that its students usually number from 100 to 500. Univer- 
sities of the type described frequently enroll from 1,000 to 5,000 
students. 41 The foreign observer may be led to wonder why it is 
that small colleges persist and multiply in a country so liberally 
provided with large institutions, many of them State supported, 
giving the same opportunities for general education. The principal 
reasons are the following : 

The prime mover in the foundation of most American colleges has 
been some religious denomination. The college so founded draws 
chiefly children of members of its denomination, and in a peculiar 
sense may be said to serve the denomination, although communi- 
cants of other sects are, as a rule, freely admitted. Thus there are 
Methodist colleges, Presbyterian colleges, Catholic colleges, Lutheran 
colleges, and many more. Those who believe that higher education 
must not only be imbued with the spirit of religion, but defi- 
nitely correlated with a particular religious doctrine, and interpreted 
in terms of that doctrine, generally patronize a college of the desired 
denominational affiliation. Many denominations have met and en- 
couraged this tendency by establishing colleges all over the land, 
wherever the denominational membership was large enough to give 
promise of support. It is no unusual thing to find several colleges 
in the same city or located within a few miles of one another in 
country districts each serving a different religious constituency. 

The typical denominational college emphasizes the religious life 
and makes a special effort to create a religious atmosphere. More 
or less religious instruction generally appears in the curriculum. 
Denominational religious services are held daily, and attendance is 
usually required. Keligious associations often occupy a prominent 
place among the social organizations which claim part of the stu- 
dent's leisure hours. It will be seen that the denominational college 
makes a very distinctive contribution to American higher education. 
The State university, owing to the nature of its support, must be 
nonsectarian. The large independent university, no matter under 
what auspices it was founded, can hardly have such complete denomi- 
national polarization. Foreign students of strong denominational 
attachments may well bear these facts in mind when selecting a 
college. 

Neither in the United States nor in other countries is there con- 
sensus of opinion as to the extent to which sectarian influences and 
sectarian religious teaching should enter into higher education. In 
the last two decades the tendency has undoubtedly been toward the

INDEPENDENT AND DENOMINATIONAL COLLEGES. 33 

divorce of higher education and sectarianism, a tendency stimulated 
by the evident success of State universities. Consequently the sec- 
tarian affiliations of many colleges which started as strictly denomi- 
national institutions are all the time growing weaker. Some have 
even renounced their denominational connections and have frankly 
come forth as nonsectarian institutions. On the other hand, cer- 
tain denominational colleges have, perhaps by way of protest, reaf- 
firmed still more vigorously their denominational character. Sev- 
eral denominations also have been especially active in founding new 
institutions. Apparently the success of a college in maintaining a 
strong denominational bias depends in a large degree upon its loca- 
tion. As a rule such institutions flourish in the Middle West and 
South. The northeastern and far western sections of the country 
have shown themselves of late less hospitable to the rigidly sectarian 
principle in higher education. 

The college is coming to be regarded more and more as a local 
institution. It serves a larger area than does a public high school, 
but still the radius from which it draws its students is compara- 
tively short and is becoming annually shorter. This is a second rea- 
son for the large number of independent colleges. The number of 
persons securing college training in proportion to the total popula- 
tion 42 has recently increased enormously. There is consequently a 
growing demand for colleges within easy reach, at least of the centers 
of population. 43 This enables many students to live at home and 
save much of the expense of a college course. Others need travel 
but a few miles and are frequently in touch with parental influences. 

A third reason for the persistent vitality of the independent college 
is the extraordinary influence it has had on the life and ideals of the 
Nation. The American college graduate generally cherishes the 
memory of his " alma mater " with a loyalty only second in intensity 
to that which he bestows on his family and friends. He is on all 
occasions her devoted and partisan champion. If he is an alumnus 
of a small college he is apt to attribute to its influence and training 
whatever measure of success he may have achieved. This generous 
habit, coupled with the fact that the independent colleges actually 
have furnished the country with a surprisingly— one might almost 
say a disproportionately — large number of the national leaders in 
politics, in the professions, and in commerce, has served to entrench 
the small college in the regard of the people. In many quarters it 
is believed to be the peculiar repository of healthy democracy, lofty 

« In 1893, 1 in 827 went to college ; iri 1903, 1 in 638 ; in 1913, 1 in 321. 

43 A recent development is the municipal university, supported by the municipality, 
articulating with the city school system, and free to students of the city. New York, Cin- 
cinnati, and Akron, for example, have flourishing institutions of this type.

idea Is, and sound intellectual training. In consequence, it enjoys a 
prestige quite equal to that of the larger universities. Apparently 
it will long continue to do so. 



CHAPTER V. 

HIGHER EDUCATION OF WOMEN. 

Substantially all of the facilities for advanced and professional 
training which have been described above are available for women. 44 
Women seldom select certain professions, such as agriculture and 
engineering, from the nature of the demands which these callings 
make upon physical strength. On the other hand, increasingly large 
numbers of women are engaging in law, medicine, dentistry, teaching, 
and pursuing advanced studies in the arts and sciences. 

The higher education of women is carried on both in institutions 
for the female sex alone and in colleges and universities where the 
sexes are educated together. In the East coeducation, as it is called, 
has not found general favor. The older colleges and the college 
departments of universities in this section of the country are usually 
exclusively for men. Beside them numerous colleges for women have 
been established, offering courses leading to the bachelor's and, in 
some cases, even to the master's and doctor's degrees. In general, 
"however, the older universities like Harvard, Yale, and the Univer- 
sity of Pennsylvania, while excluding women from the undergraduate 
departments, admit them freely to graduate schools. 

In the Middle West and West coeducation is the accepted educa- 
tional policy. Nearly all colleges and universities are open in all 
departments to women on the same terms as to men. In particular, 
the State universities have been the most prominent exponents of this 
policy and have done much to give it national currency. Special 
supervision of the boarding and rooming accommodations of the 
women and a certain amount of chaperonage in social affairs are 
enforced. Otherwise perfectly free association between the sexes pre- 
vails. The policy of coeducation has proved almost universally 
successful and is now indorsed by the great majority of American 
educators. 

" In addition to the coeducational and the separate method of the 
education of women has also grown up a method which has been de- 
nominated the coordinate system. It represents the affiliation of 

u Tho extent to which women have taken advantage of the higher educational oppor- 
tunities is indicated by the following figures : Total enrollment of women in women's col- 
1893, 12,300; 1903, 10.744; 1013, 19,142; 1010, 20,638. Total enrollment of 
women in coeducational institutions, 1893, 13,058 ; 1903, 26,990 ; 1913, 55.504 ; 1910, 
09,543.

a college for women with a college for men." 45 Examples of this type 
of management are Barnard College, incorporated in the educational 
system of Columbia University ; Radcliffe College, affiliated with Har- 
vard ; H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College, affiliated with Tulane 
University of Louisiana ; and the College for Women, affiliated with 
Western Reserve University. The academic relations of these col- 
leges with the universities to which they are attached differ somewhat. 
Under one mode of affiliation the teaching in the woman's college is 
done by the faculty of the affiliated university. This plan prevails at 
Radcliffe. Another method is to provide an entirely separate faculty 
for the woman's college. This is the method of Western Reserve 
University. 



CHAPTER VI. 

COMPARISON OF AMERICAN AND FOREIGN INSTITUTIONS. 

It will probably help the foreign student to adjust himself to 
educational conditions in the United States if his attention is called 
to the correspondences and differences between the principal types of 
American schools, on the one hand, and familiar European and 
Latin-American institutions on the other. These may first be sug- 
gested by showing in parallel columns the ages at which students 
enter and finish the various courses. (See page 36.) 

The most marked differences appear in the time allotted to second- 
ary education and the ages at which it is begun in the countries men- 
tioned. In fact, the position accorded the secondary school may be 
said to determine to a large extent the character of each country's 
educational system. In France and Germany the elementary and 
secondary school systems are entirely separate. They run along con- 
stantly diverging lines. It is only possible to transfer from the ele- 
mentary to the secondary school at one or two points, and after the 
twelfth year not at all. To a certain extent the same conditions have 
prevailed in England also, although they have lately been somewhat 
modified. In all of these countries the elementary school has gener- 
ally been regarded not as a place of preparation for the secondary 
school, but as furnishing a 'distinct and measurably complete scheme 
of education designed especially for the children of the laboring and 
artisan classes. The secondary school, on the other hand, is intended 
-for children of prosperous parents who plan to fit themselves for the 
professions or to enter the civil service. The original and funda- 
mental distinction between the two systems is a social one.

AMERICAN AND FOREIGN INSTITUTIONS COMPARED. 37 

The figure of " the educational ladder " best expresses the popular 
conception of education in the United States. The schools must be 
so organized that the child of the humblest parents may climb up in 
them and through them to the highest educational advantages. 
Anything else is felt to be undemocratic. The secondary school is 
therefore based on the elementary school and the college on the 
secondary school. This arrangement has had two consequences 
which are on the whole unfortunate. It has cramped the secondary 
school, and it has lengthened the whole school life of American boys 
and girls. Much work that is done by the French tycee or the Ger- 
man gymnasium is necessarily included here in the elementary school 
or the college. 

The other outstanding peculiarity in the United States plan of 
educational organization, namely, the inclusion of the college as an 
extra link between the secondary school and the university, has been 
alluded to in the brief statement of the historical evolution of the 
college. 46 

The elementary schools of the United States and of Europe, not- 
withstanding minor differences, present nearly the same curriculum 
and aim at imparting approximately the same amount of training. 
The elementary school of Latin-American countries, like that of the 
United States and unlike those of Europe, is the regular preparatory 
institution for the secondary school or liceo. But the division line 
between the two institutions comes earlier in Latin America, at an 
age more appropriate for the beginning of secondary education. This, 
however, naturally reduces the range of the elementary curriculum. 

European nations and Latin American countries are substantially 
agreed as to the purpose and compass of secondary instruction. The, 
practices of no two countries are alike in all details, but in general the 
secondary course is made up of languages, ancient and modern; 
mathematics up to or through calculus ; the elements of the natural 
sciences; history; the literature of the vernacular; the outlines of 
philosophy and logic. In other words, secondarjr education is con- 
ceived as properly dealing with knowledge which has general use and 
validity, scientifically arranged and organized to show the casual re- 
lations between facts or phenomena. It includes training in orderly 
and independent methods of study. It aims to sharpen the esthetic 
and moral perceptions. Secondary education concerns itself little 
with the purely empirical ; that is more particularly the province of 
elementary training. It prepares for the philosophical or minutely 
specialized pursuit of knowledge, which is the field of higher educa- 
tion. The period of general cultural training of the individual prop- 
erly terminates with the completion of the secondary school course, 

46 See p. 11. 



38 AMERICAN FACILITIES FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS. 

which is fittingly recognized by the bestowal of the bachelor's degree. 
The six, eight, or nine years of secondary instruction in the countries 
mentioned are held to be sufficient for the accomplishment of this 
general purpose. 

The function which is fulfilled in France, Germany, and Latin 
America by the secondary school is shared in the United States by 
two institutions — the secondary school and the college. It is gener- 
ally admitted that the American student who has completed a sec- 
ondary school course and two years of a general course in arts or 
sciences at an American college may be ranked with the holder of the 
baccalaureate of the French lycee or the Abiturientenzeugnis of the 
German Gymnasium. Those professional schools which demand two 
years of collegiate study for entrance maintain approximately the 
same standards of entrance, then, as the French and German univer- 
sities, which are only open to holders of the two certificates just 
mentioned. 



SECTION IL 



CHAPTER I. 

LIVING CONDITIONS. 

Most of the larger universities are located in or near cities of 
considerable size. For instance, the University of California, at 
Berkeley, a city of 56,036 47 inhabitants, is only 8 miles from San 
Francisco; the University of Minnesota is at Minneapolis, a city 
of 380,582 47 inhabitants; the University of Wisconsin, at Madison, 
a city of 38,378 48 inhabitants. Within the limits of the metropolitan 
district of each of the great centers, Chicago, New York, Philadel- 
phia, St. Louis, Boston, New Orleans, Baltimore, Washington, are 
several universities and colleges. The work of certain professional 
schools, in particular schools of medicine and dentistry, can hardly 
be successfully carried on without the facilities afforded by a large 
city. It is in recognition of this fact that the medical schools of 
the Universities of Illinois and Cornell have been established at 
Chicago and New York, respectively. 

On the other hand, quite the majority of small colleges and inde- 
pendent professional institutions are located in villages and towns of 
from 1,000 to 20,000 inhabitants. In many cases the founders have 
deliberately chosen small communities in order that students might 
be removed from the temptations of the city and might be encouraged 
to live a simple, healthy life, in contact with nature. The large city 
and the small rural or quasi rural community each has its own pecu- 
liar advantages. The great centers of population mentioned above 49 
are also centers of art and forums for the exchange of ideas. Col- 
lections of paintings and of sculpture, concerts, theaters, museums, 
lectures, public meetings devoted to the discussion of political and 
economic problems may thus be legitimately included among the 
instrumentalities for education and self-improvement which the city 
university affords. The small town or village in return allows a more 
vigorous development and the closer welding together of the insti-

tutional community itself. " College life," so characteristic a feature 
of American higher institutions, flourishes especially in the country 
college. 



EXPENSES. 

The expenses of foreign students attending American institutions 
will vary widely for several reasons. Practically all of the privately 
endowed institutions charge annual tuition fees. The fee is rarely 
less than $50 a year for collegiate instruction, and in some cases as 
high as $150 or $200 a year. For example, Parsons College and 
Bowdoin College charge tuition fees of $50 and $125, respectively. 
Columbia University charges $196 and Princeton University $200. 50 
Professional instruction, particularly in medicine and engineering, is 
still more expensive. The annual tuition at Johns Hopkins Uni- 
versity medical school is $250, for instance, as against $150 charged 
to collegiate students. Case School of Applied Science charges $125 
a year; Massachusetts Institute of Technology charges $250 a year, 
and to its students in naval construction and naval architecture $500 
a year. 

Most State-aided institutions, on the other hand, charge only a 
small tuition fee to collegiate students not residents of the State, 
State residents being generally given instruction free of charge. But 
State institutions usually charge a considerable fee to students in 
some branches of professional study, because of the costly equipment 
needed for work in these departments. The practice of the Univer- 
sity of Colorado, where the tuition fee to college students is $24 and 
the annual cost to the student in the medical school is $120, will serve 
as an illustration. In addition to tuition fees most institutions, both 
private and State aided, charge laboratory fees and various incidental 
fees. These rarely total more than $25 a year. 

Living expenses, aside from tuition and other fees, vary with the 
location of the institution. Practically all the colleges and univer- 
sites which are located in rural communities or in small towns main- 
tain dormitories and dining halls, which generally assure the student 
of good boarding and rooming accommodations at a minimum rate. 
Dormitories and dining halls are also provided by certain city uni- 
versities; for example, Yale and the University of Pennsylvania. 
Dormitories are commonly arranged so that two students share the 
same suite of two or three rooms, a study room and one or two bed- 
rooms. Some dormitories, especially the older ones, contain chiefly 
single rooms, each serving as bedroom and study combined and 
designed for a single occupant. Where the institution has no dormi- 
tories, as is the case with the University of Michigan and the Univer- 
sity of Illinois, an abundance of rooms are available in the houses of

reputable private families. As a rule, the fundamental charges- 
room, board, and laundry — are somewhat lower at the country insti- 
tution than at those located in the cities. The possible wide varia- 
tions in price (which do not altogether depend upon the size of the 
community) are indicated by the figure, $6, quoted as the weekly 
minimum by the University of Minnesota, and $12, the weekly maxi- 
mum mentioned by Cornell University. The incidental expenses of 
city living, including amusements, should, of course, also be reck- 
oned. 51 These vary with the tastes and standards of the individual, 
but even the most ascetic student will spend a little more in an 
urban than in a rural community. 

VACATIONS AND TRAVEL. 

The foreign student contemplating a three or four year period of 
university study in the United States should make allowance in his 
budget for the long vacations. American colleges and universities 
are in session on an average about eight months in the year. The 
university year generally begins about the middle of September and 
closes about the middle of June, 52 At most institutions it is divided 
into two semesters, the division line coming about the 1st of Febru- 
ary. 53 Approximately a month is devoted to short vacations of 
from 1 to 14 days duration, scattered through the academic year. 
The prices quoted by different institutions for the rent of dormitory 
rooms are generally for the academic year of nine months. Occu- 
pancy of the rooms during the short vacations is included. Students 
are usually not allowed to occupy dormitory rooms in the long 
summer vacation. 

It is exceedingly desirable that the foreign student should spend 
part of the long vacation in travel if he can possibly afford this extra 
expense. The United States is so large a country ; it contains so 
great a diversity of racial stocks, many of them concentrated in 
certain limited areas ; its industries, climate, and conditions of living 
are so infinitely varied that no single community can be regarded 
as typical. Not the least advantage to a foreign student pursuing his 
university work here will be the opportunity to observe the people 
and the customs of an alien nation. He should therefore strive to 
extend his observations as widely as possible. Eailroad travel Costs

52 California institutions present an exception to tins rule, the academic year there ex- 
tending from the middle of August to the middle of May. 

53 It is now possible to enter almost any of the larger universities, and many colleges as 
well, at the beginning of either semester. Several institutions have two graduations, one 
in June and one in February. Classes, laboratory instruction, and courses of lectures are 
now usually arranged on the semester

on the average 3 cents a mile; a seat in an individual chair car, called 
a "Pullman" car, costs approximately one-half a cent a mile extra. 
A berth in a sleeping car costs about 1 cent a mile extra. Good hotel 
accommodations may be had — depending upon the place — from $3.50 
a day, including meals, up. For a longer sojourn in city communities, 
good board and room may be secured at rates ranging from $10 a 
week up. In the country one may occasionally find satisfactory 
board and lodging for less. 

STUDENT AID AND SELF-HELP. 

Nearly all the better-equipped private institutions and some State 
institutions possess special funds for assisting needy and deserving 
students. The commonest form of student aid is the so-called " schol- 
arship," an annual stipend, generally large enough to cover the tui- 
tion fee, often somewhat larger, which is granted a student of good 
ability and character upon the representation of his needs. Some 
scholarships are awarded as prizes for high scholastic standing 
without reference to the student's financial status. Some, again, are 
bestowed only upon those students who have demonstrated marked 
capacity and are also known to need pecuniary assistance. 

Certain institutions have loan funds from which money is lent 
indigent students on proper security. 

Larger stipends, called " fellowships," paying from $150 to $500 or 
$600 a year, have been established at many universities for the benefit 
of graduate and professional students of unusual ability and promise. 
Certain of these fellowships for students in graduate schools carry the 
obligation of teaching from one to six hours a week in undergraduate 
classes. 54 A few universities also maintain traveling fellowships, 
some of which pay as much as $1,500 per annum. These are generally 
awarded to advanced students whose researches will be especially 
furthered by visiting some foreign country. 

The foreign student is advised to apply for the catalogue of any 
American college or university to which he may feel attracted. The 
catalogue or a circular of information is sent free upon request, and 
generally contains full information concerning scholarships, fellow- 
ships, courses, teaching staff, and equipment. 

A very large percentage of American students support themselves 
wholly or in part during their terms of collegiate or professional 
training. In the long summer vacations, in the evenings, in the spare 
hours not occupied with class exercises, these young men and women 

54 For example, the Austin teaching fellowships at Harvard University, holders of which 
racefoe $500 and are expected to devote about half of their time to teaching ; also the Har- 
rison senior fellowships at the University of Pennsylvania, holders of which receive $800 
and are expected to offer a single course of lectures. 



COLLEGE LIFE. 43 

work at a multitude of occupations. The commonest of these are 
perhaps the following : Care of furnaces in private residences ; janitor 
service in college or university buildings ; waiting on table in college 
dining halls and eating clubs; clerical work for college officers; 
giving private lessons; selling commodities on commission. Some 
students have learned a trade before attending higher institutions, 
and by the occasional practice of it are able to assist themselves 
financially. 

Nearly all the larger institutions and many of the small colleges 
maintain student employment bureaus. The purpose of these 
agencies is to ascertain the local opportunities for student labor 
and to put the student seeking employment in touch with a suitable 
occupation. 

The American college or university community does not regard 
any of the occupations mentioned or any other form of honest manual 
labor on the part of students as degrading. This fact deserves 
especial emphasis, because in certain other countries there is quite a 
different attitude toward students who are obliged to work jtheir Avay 
through college or who are recipients of scholarships, bursaries, or 
loans. The American student who earns his way suffers no loss of 
social standing. He is eligible for any social honor bestowed by his 
fellows, on the same terms as the son of the wealthiest parent. In- 
deed, the fact that a popular or talented young man waits on the 
table, for instance, in order to make his education possible, generally 
raises him in the esteem both of his fellow students and of his in- 
structors. 

Many students from other countries have taken advantage of the 
manifold opportunities for self-help and have thus eked out the 
money needed for a long and expensive university education. No 
discrimination in favor of native students is shown either by the 
employers or by the university employment agencies. However, the 
foreign student contemplating a course of study in the United States 
should be warned to bring with him enough money to defray the 
expenses of the first year. Before he can count on remunerative em- 
ployment, he must be acquainted with the customs of the country 
and must be known to the officers of the institution at which he is 
enrolled. 



CHAPTER II. 

COLLEGE LIFE. 

American educators are practically unanimous in the belief that 
the associations which the student forms with his fellows and the 
activities with which he fills his leisure hours are educative factors 



44 AMERICAN FACILITIES FOE FOREIGN STUDENTS. 

hardly less important than the instructional work of the institution. 
Especially is this true in the college and the collegiate divisions of 
the universities. Students in the professional and graduate schools, 
thoroughly absorbed in preparing themselves for the practice of 
their professions, are likely to have less time and inclination to 
cultivate other interests. Encouraged by the governing authorities, 
there has grown up at most American colleges and universities a 
kind of institutional life which is distinctly national. There is, to 
be sure, a certain generic similarity in the ideals and interests of 
students the world over, which manifests itself in similar ways. 
Yet American "college life," as it is called, exhibits many customs 
and activities that seem to be entirely unlike those of European and 
Latin American students. To this extent it is unique and deserves 
brief notice. The foreign observer is perhaps first struck by the 
complexity and intensity of college life. The work of the classroom 
or the laboratory seems to be merely the focus for numerous other 
occupations, all pursued with a passionate earnestness. 

ATHLETICS. 

Chief among the extra-curricular activities is athletics, which occu- 
pies a shrine of its own not only in the hearts of college and univer- 
sity students but in the hearts of the whole American people. Ath- 
letic sports are of comparatively recent development. They began 
within the memory of men still alive. It is only within a little more 
than a generation that Americans have ceased to find ample scope for 
physical activity in the fields to be tilled, the woods to be cleared or 
explored, and the forces of the land to be subdued. It is the sudden 
urbanization of the United States that has stimulated the growth of 
athletic games. The city youth replaces by strenuous group sports 
the excitements and exertions of his pioneering fathers and grand- 
fathers. The urban public participates vicariously and is boister- 
ously enthusiastic over athletic exhibitions. Both the college com- 
munity and the country at large are prone to make a hero of the 
successful college athlete. These are social phenomena of considera- 
ble significance in American life. They partly account for the large 
share of the college student's attention which athletics claim and for 
the prominence of athletic interests in most college communities. 

Nearly every college and university maintains four types of ath- 
letic teams which compete with the teams of other institutions — base- 
ball teams, football teams, basketball teams, and track teams. Track 
athletics, as it is called, includes running, jumping, weight throwing, 
etc. In addition, most of the larger institutions situated near bodies 
of water maintain crews for boat racing. Numerous other branches 
of athletics, such as hockey, fencing, tennis, etc., are cultivated at 



COLLEGE LIFE. 45 

certain universities. But the interest of the general public, and of 
the college or university community as well, is chiefly centered in 
the four sports first mentioned, particularly the first two. Baseball 
in the spring and football in the fall make a special appeal to all ages 
and classes of Americans. 

College and university athletic teams are trained with great care 
and often at great expense. It is customary for institutions to 
employ a special trainer called a " coach " for each of the principal 
branches of athletics. The larger and wealthier institutions build 
costly gymnasia and training quarters and construct stadia for the 
public games. To be chosen to represent his institution on one of 
its important athletic teams is regarded by the college or university 
student as one of the most desirable distinctions to which he can 
attain. For many years it far outclassed scholarly distinctions in 
student estimation and in the estimation of the general public as 
well. Of late scholarship has been receiving more appropriate recog- 
nition, both within and without the walls. But the prestige of ath- 
letic success is still undimmed. The intercollegiate games of baseball 
and football are played before vast and enthusiastic crowds who are 
willing to pay large sums of money for the privilege of watching the 
spectacle. Indeed, a football game between Harvard and Yale, for 
example, is an event of national interest. The last one, in 1914, was 
played before an audience of 68,000 people, in a new amphitheater 
erected especially for these contests at a cost of approximately 
$600,000. The gate receipts were $136,000. Crowds only slightly 
smaller assemble for the games between the teams of other universi- 
ties, The conspicuous athlete on one of these occasions acquires a 
publicity that, although short-lived, is for the time only matched, 
perhaps, by that of the favorites of the stage. 

All of these influences naturally combine to make nearly ever} 7 
able-bodied young man strive for athletic distinction. Moreover, 
the absorbing devotion to athletic success has created an ideal of 
physical fitness which pervades practically all college and university 
communities and affects the lives of those who are unable to win 
fame in the arena. To be in good physical condition and to partici- 
pate as far as possible in some kind of athletic contest have come to 
be among the normal ends which almost every student sets himself 
to reach. What has been said with regard to the devotion of men 
to athletic sports holds true also, with only slight modifications, with 
regard to college women. Less publicity and strain attend the athletic 
contests of women students, but the athletic ideal has conquered the 
colleges for women as well as the colleges for men. 

The prominence of the athletic interest among the students has 
led to the incorporation of systematic physical training in the college 
curriculum. Most progressive institutions now require every candi- 



46 AMERICAN FACILITIES FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS. 

date for the bachelor's degree to undergo periodic physical examina- 
tions at the hands of a physician and to take a course of physical 
training under the direction of a competent physical instructor. The 
conservation of health and the promotion of a sound physical devel- 
opment are thus made fundamental to effective intellectual training. 

FRATERNITIES. 

Next to athletics the most vital and generally influential factors 
in college or university life are the fraternities and clubs. Whereas 
athletics is a democratizing force bringing together the rich and the 
poor, the well-bred and the uncultivated, in sharp personal competi- 
tion, or uniting them in a common enthusiasm, the fraternities and 
clubs tend to break the student body into cliques, on the basis of 
similarity of tastes, the pursuit of a particular object, or social com- 
patibility. They represent the natural cleavages of large bodies of 
people into smaller congenial groups. 

The American college fraternity, like the " college life " of which 
it is the outgrowth and the expression, has no exact counterpart 
in any other country. The student corps at German universities 
resemble it in certain features, but on the whole are quite different. 
The typical college fraternity is a secret order of strictly limited 
membership, having a Greek motto and conducting more or less 
mysterious rites of initiation. The fraternity is known by the initial 
letters of its motto (or what are taken to be such by the uninitiated 
public), as, for instance, Psi Upsilon, Delta Kappa Epsilon, Phi 
Delta Theta, Sigma Chi. 

A great many fraternities are national, or at least interinstitu- 
tional. They consist of from a dozen to 50 chapters located in as 
many institutions in different parts of the country. So-called na- 
tional fraternities generally have a central administrative body, 
made up wholly or partly of older men, whose duty it is to coordinate 
the activities and help in maintaining the standards of the frater- 
nity. The individual chapters of a fraternity generally consist of 
from 15 to 30 members. At most institutions each fraternity has 
a clubhouse. These clubhouses vary in size, comfort, and elegance. 
Some are modest domiciles containing simple meeting rooms ; others 
combine under one roof — often a very expensive roof, at that — a 
dormitory, meeting room, and boarding house. All, or nearly all, 
of the members then live in the fraternity house en famille. Under 
these circumstances it is natural that the fraternity should become 
a formative influence in a young man's character second to no other. 
On the whole, this influence is good. Most fraternities, like the 
orders of knighthood from which through Masonic associations they 
probably took their origin, set before themselves the pursuit of high 



COLLEGE LIEE. 47 

and noble ideals. The older members feel responsibility for main- 
taining both the scholarly standing and the good repute of the 
organization, and, indeed, frequently cooperate with the faculty to 
this end. 

A few fraternities or individual chapters have fallen into over- 
luxurious and vicious habits, in which cases they have become 
peculiarly dangerous to the young men who join them. These are, 
however, the exception. The principal objection raised against the 
fraternity is the disintegrating effect which its close organization 
and interfraternity rivalries may have upon the solidarity of the 
college community. But this objection has not been strongly enough 
voiced to check as yet the growth and spread of fraternities. 

Local secret orders without affiliation with other societies are also 
common at certain institutions. These are in all essential respects 
like the national fraternities just described. At a few of the most 
prominent universities secret fraternities, local or national, are 
either rare or nonexistent. For instance, at Princeton secret socie- 
ties are prohibited. At Harvard the vigorous development of other 
types of social organizations has kept fraternities from becoming- 
numerous or important. At these universities and at others where 
similar conditions prevail the place of fraternities is taken by social 
clubs which parallel in the variety of the jmrposes which they pursue 
the clubs of the outside world. 

As a rule fraternities and other societies welcome congenial for- 
eign members of similar social training. Of particular interest to 
foreign students, however, are the cosmopolitan clubs which exist at 
most universities and which are now united by means of a national 
organization. These associations bring together upon a common 
ground of social intercourse the citizens of every country represented 
in the student body of the university. 

Besides social clubs there are at practically all colleges and uni- 
versities other clubs organized for special purposes; for instance, 
debating, dramatic, and musical clubs — Cercle Francais, etc. There 
are also professional and technical associations, such as engineering 
clubs, chemical clubs, and law clubs, to which students of the pro- 
fessional schools belong. 

The musical organizations of the majority of colleges and uni- 
versities are partly social clubs for the cultivation of an art and 
partly money-making ventures. University choral societies, glee 
clubs, mandolin clubs, and orchestras travel about the country in 
the vacation periods and at other times, as far as the work of the 
institution permits, giving public concerts. These are often sources 
of considerable profit to the members of the organizations. 



48 AMERICAN FACILITIES FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS. 

RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS. 

At nearly all American higher institutions, including the State 
unh T ersities, the religious life of the student body is a matter of deep 
concern to the faculty and to the older students. The officers of 
the strictly denominational colleges usually undertake, more or less 
openly, the direction of the religious thought and observances of the 
students, in accordance with the doctrines and ritual of the sect to 
which the college owes allegiance. State universities are of necessity 
nonsectarian, and their officers never interfere with the religious 
affairs of the students. The larger independent universities also, even 
though founded by religious bodies, have for the most part outgrown 
sectarian limitations. The daily chapel exercises, which are held 
at nearly all American universities, both State and independent, are 
at these larger universities devoid of doctrinal content. Attendance 
is now generally optional. 

The religious life of the students of these larger American univer- 
sities is stimulated and fed by means of religious organizations for 
which the students themselves are chiefly responsible. The most 
widespread and influential of these bodies is the Young Men's Chris- 
tian Association, branches of which are to be found in almost all 
Protestant and nonsectarian universities and colleges. In nonsec- 
tarian institutions, also, the Young Men's Catholic Association, the 
Intercollegiate Menorah Society, the Knights of St. Andrew, and 
other religious organizations, membership in which is limited to the 
adherents of particular sects, are frequently established. 

UNIVERSITY DEMOCRACY. 

Doubtless the most characteristic feature of the American college or 
university community is its democracy. A spirit of good comrade- 
ship in work and play pervades the typical college. No barriers are 
raised between groups or individuals because of wealth or family 
connections. A student stands or falls on the strength of his own 
attainments and personal likeableness. Cliques represented by the 
clubs and fraternities just mentioned are formed within the college 
itself, to be sure, but they seldom bear any relation to outside social 
alignments. The most influential and exclusive college fraternity may 
include in its membership sons of parents of every grade of wealth 
and every calling. Indeed, the typical American college community 
rather makes a cult of democracy, and since it is saturated with the 
idealism of youth and is more homogeneous than any other commu- 
nity it is able to practice democracy with comparatively little hard- 
ship. 

For the most part the same informal relations exist between stu- 
dents and professors as among the students themselves. Few profes- 



HIGHER EDUCATIONAL CENTERS. 49 

sors now assume superiority in their dealings with students or demand 
special deference on the strength of their position. The American 
university professor of to-day regards himself as a fellow student with 
those whom he teaches, a little older and more experienced, but essen- 
tially on the same plane. The relations between professors and stu- 
dents, then, are like those between younger and older men elsewhere. 
This condition contributes to a better mutual understanding, a more 
complete harmony of purpose in the university community than used 
to prevail in the past. It has minimized, also, the need for disciplinary 
action on the part of the faculty. 

THE FOREIGNER AT AN AMERICAN UNIVERSITY. 

It is essential that the foreign student who contemplates studying 
at an American college or university should first be fairly fluent in 
the use of English. He should at least know the language well 
enough to be able to read it and to follow lectures given in it. If 
he does not have this knowledge when he arrives in the United 
States, it will probably be best for him to spend several months 
(three or four should suffice) studying English 55 under competent 
instruction before attempting to register in a university for either 
a general or professional course. 

Once having mastered the vernacular sufficiently to make his way 
as a student and to take an intelligent part in the social activities 
of the university community, the foreign student will find himself 
accepted as in every sense a full-fledged member of the institution. 56 
Then it rests with him what his place shall be. If he is agreeable, 
capable, and adaptable, he will suffer no handicaps in his relations 
with the natives. On the contrary, he will receive a most cordial 
welcome.

SECTION III, 



CHAPTER I. 

COLLEGE ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS. 

Admission to American colleges or the collegiate divisions of 
universities is usually based upon the completion of a four-year 
secondary school course or its equivalent. Since there is consider- 
able variation in the courses and standards of secondary schools, 
colleges have come by common consent to express their entrance 
requirements in terms of " units." The following definition of a 
" unit " is now generally accepted by both colleges and secondary 
schools throughout the country : 

A unit represents a year's study in any subject in a secondary school, 
constituting approximately a quarter of a full year's work. A four-year 
secondary school curriculum should be regarded as representing not more 
than 16 units of work. 

This statement is designed to afford a standard of measurement for the work 
done in secondary schools. It takes the four-year high-school course as a basis, 
and assumes that the length of the school year is from 36 to 40 weeks, that a 
period is from 40 to 60 minutes in length, and that the study is pursued for 
four or five periods a week; but under ordinary circumstances, a satisfactory 
year's work in any subject can not be accomplished in less than one hundred 
and twenty 60-minute hours or their equivalent. Schools organized on any other 
than a four-year basis can, nevertheless, estimate their work in terms of this 
unit. 

From the foregoing definition it appears that the four-year high- 
school course normally consists of 16 units of work. The entrance 
requirements of most standard colleges call for the completion of 
from 14 to 16 units. Colleges which require less than 14 units for 
admission are not regarded as standard. 

Two methods of admission are common. Throughout the West 
and Middle West, and to a certain extent in the East also, colleges 
admit by certificate. Under this plan a candidate for entrance must 
present a statement from the principal or head master of the school 
which he has attended, showing the amount and character of the work 
he has done. If the certificate indicates that the studies required 
for entrance by the college have been satisfactorily pursued, and if 

59 



60 AMERICAN FACILITIES FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS. 

the standing of the school issuing the certificate is known and ap- 
proved by the college authorities, the candidate is admitted without 
further formalities. 

The other method of admission, in vogue in a number of the older 
institutions in the East, is by examination. In order to systematize 
both the entrance examinations and the courses offered by the sec- 
ondary schools in preparation for them, some 30 institutions which 
admit by this method, together with the principal associations of 
colleges and secondary schools, have formed an organization to con- 
duct examinations, known as the College Entrance Examination 
Board. A student is admitted by any college which is a member of 
the board if he passes the examination set by the board in the sub- 
jects required by the college for entrance. The standards main- 
tained by the board are so high that a certificate showing that a 
candidate has passed its examinations is generally accepted for en- 
trance by other institutions also. Nevertheless, a few institutions 
which admit by examination prefer to conduct their own exami- 
nations. 

The statements of the entrance requirements of the 74 institutions 
described in Section VI indicate that there is a wide variation not 
only in the subjects required by different institutions, but also in the 
number of units prescribed and in the way in which, these units are 
distributed. Whether a student enters on a secondary school certifi- 
cate or on the certificate of the College Entrance Examination 
Board or takes the special examinations of the institution he means 
to attend, he must meet the specific requirements of that institution 
in the matter of subjects and units prescribed. 

The examinations of the College Entrance Examination Board 
cover almost the whole range of subjects required or accepted for 
college entrance by the leading institutions of the country. Its 
definitions of the content of these subjects may therefore serve to 
show the scope of secondary education in the various branches. 
The essential parts of its latest circular are quoted in the following 
pages. By consulting it the foreign student who plans to enter an 
American college should be able to estimate whether his preliminary 
studies have fitted him for admission to the college of his choice. 
Most institutions are willing to make certain concessions from the 
strict letter of the requirements to students from foreign countries 
who can demonstrate an equivalent preparation in subjects other 
than those prescribed. 

a The board holds examinations in almost every State and in several foreign countries, 
including Canada, England, and France ; also in the Canal Zone, Hawaii, and Porto Rico.

Hiit to memory notable passages both in verse and in prose. As an aid to 
literary appreciation, he is further advised to acquaint himself with the most 
important facts in the lives of the authors whose works he reads and with 
their place in literary history. He should read the books carefully, but his at- 
tention should not be so fixed upon details that he fails to appreciate the main 
purpose and charm of what he reads. 

A few of these books should be read with special care, greater stress being- 
laid upon form and style, the exact meaning of words and phrases, and the 
understanding of allusions. 

EXAMINATION, 1920-1922. 

Candidates will have the option of taking either of two examinations: (1) 
Comprehensive; (2) restricted. The comprehensive examination is described 
on page 103. The following statements apply to the restricted examination. 

However accurate in subject matter, no paper will be considered satisfactory 
if seriously defective in punctuation, spelling, or other essentials of good usage. 

Grammar and Composition. 

In grammar and composition, the candidate may be asked specific questions 
upon the practical essentials of these studies, such as the relation of the various 
parts of a sentence to one another, and those good usages of modern English 
which one should know in distinction from current errors. The main test in 
composition will consist of one or more essays developing a theme through 
several paragraphs ; the subjects will be drawn from the books read, from the 
candidate's other studies, and from his personal knowledge and experience quite 
apart from reading. For this purpose the examiner will provide several sub- 
jects, perhaps 8 or 10, from which the candidate may make his own selections. 
He will not be expected to write more than 400 words an hour. 

DEFINITION OF REQUIREMENTS. 

ENGLISH. 

The requirement in English is that recommended by the National Conference on Uniform 
Entrance Requirements in English. 

REQUIREMENT FOR 1920-1922. 

The study of English in school has two main objects, which should be con- 
sidered of equal'importance : (1) Command of correct and clear English, spoken 
and written; (2) ability to read with accuracy, intelligence, and appreciation, 
and the development of the habit of reading good literature with enjoyment.- 

Grammar and Composition. 

The first object requires instruction in grammar and composition. English 
grammar should ordinarily be reviewed in the secondary school; and correct 
spelling and grammatical accuracy should be rigorously exacted in connection 
with all written work during the four years. The principles of English compo- 
sition governing punctuation, the use of words, sentences, and paragraphs should 
be thoroughly mastered; and practice in composition, oral as well as written, 
should extend throughout the secondary school period. Written exercises may 
well comprise letter writing, narration, description, and easy exposition and

argument. It is advisable that subjects for this work be taken from the student's 
personal experience, general knowledge, and studies other than English, as well 
as from his reading in literature. Finally, special instruction in language and 
composition should be accompanied by concerted effort of teachers in all branches 
to cultivate in the student the habit of using good English in his recitations and 
various exercises, whether oral or written. 

Literature. 

The examination will include: 

A. Questions designed to test such knowledge and appreciation of literature 
as may be gained by an intelligent reading of the books given in List A below. 

B. A test on the books in List B below. This will consist of questions upon 
their content, form, and structure, and upon the meaning of such words, 
phrases, and allusions as may be necessary to an understanding of the works 
and an appreciation of their salient qualities of style. General questions may 
also be asked concerning the lives of the authors, their other works, and the 
periods of literary history to which they belong. 

Division of Examination. 

When parts 1 and B of the examination are taken at different times, each 
will include a test in grammar and! composition.

HISTOEY AND CIVIL GOVERNMENT. 

The requirements in history and civil government were defined by a special Commission of 
Eleven authorized by the College Entrance Examination Board November, 1916, and appointed 
by the Committee of Review, April, 1917. The requirements are based upon the recommenda- 
tions of the Committee of Seven (1898), and of the Committee of Five (1910) of the American 
Historical Association. 

Subjects A, B, D, and G correspond, in general, respectively, to the successive 
subjects outlined for a four-year course in History in The Study of History in 
Schools: Report to the American Historical Association by the Committee of 
Seven (New York, Macmillan, 1899), and with more detail in A History Syl- 
labus for Secondary Schools by a Special Committee of the New England 
History Teachers' Association (Boston, Heath, 1904), though some changes of 
emphasis are suggested in the present statement. Subject C corresponds substan- 
tially with the Subject C suggested on page 64 of The Study of History in 
Secondary Schools: Report to the American Historical Association by a Com- 
mittee of Five (New York, Macmillan, 1911). Subjects E and F represent the 
20485°— 21 5 



6G AMERICAN FACILITIES FOE FOREIGN STUDENTS. 

same content as Subject G, but are arranged for tlie benefit of those schools 
which give fuller instruction in either or both of these subjects than the year 
contemplated for Subject G. 

Iu each of the subjects, except F, the following preparation is required : 

1. Historical instruction in a high school or academy for one year to the 
extent specified in the definition of the Unit of Admission Requirements. 

2. The study of an accurate historical textbook, in which not less than 500 
pages of text are devoted to the particular subject, 

3. Collateral reading of appropriate selections, in books of a less elementary 
nature, amounting to at least 500 pages. 

4. The ability to compare historical characters, periods, and events, and in 
general the power to combine in orderly fashion the results of reading, and to 
exercise judgment as well as memory- 

5. The ability to locate places historically important and to describe terri- 
torial changes and other historical movements on an outline map, acquired 
from the study of physical as well as political geography with the aid of map 
work. 

A. Ancient History. 

One unit. 

The course should devote one-half of the year to the study of the history of 
the ancient Orient and of Greece as far as the death of Alexander and the 
break up of his empire, with the study of Western Hellas to the death of Timo- 
leon. The second half year should be devoted to the study of the history of 
Rome as far as the death of Charlemagne. During this half year time should 
be found for the study of the Hellenistic Period of Greek history and the merg- 
ing of the story of Greece with the story of Rome. 

Since not more than one- tenth of the whole time available can be allotted 
to the study of the history of the Orient, only so much of its narrative his- 
tory should be studied as will hold the story together and fix its geography 
and its time relations, including some fixed dates of early chronology. Em- 
phasis should be laid not upon the details of military and political history 
but upon the civilization developed by the different peoples of the Orient, with 
particular reference to the contributions which they made to later ages. 

When we pass to the study of Greek history little time should be spent on 
the period prior to the Persian Wars, except to deal concretely with Homeric 
society and to emphasize the expansion of Hellas. From the Persian Wars 
to the death of Alexander the study should be exact and thorough, with special 
reference to the political, intellectual, and artistic development of Hellas dur- 
ing the Age of Pericles. Instead of trying to trace the constitutional develop- 
ment of Athens and of Sparta from the beginning, the working of government 
in these states at this, the time of their maturity, should be mastered. 

In the period following the death of Alexander no attempt should be made 
to follow the intricate political history of the time, but opportunity should 
be taken either at this point or, preferably, in the second half-year, just prior 
to studying the Roman conquest of the East, to dwell upon federal govern- 
ment in Greece and bureaucratic government in Egypt ; upon science, philos- 
ophy, literature, art, and especially religion — the decaying religion of Greece 
and the expanding cults in the East — in a word, upon the formation of the 
mixed Grseeo-Oriental culture of which Rome became the heir. 

At the beginning of the second half-year the history of Rome to about the 
year 300 B. C. should be covered very rapidly; the Roman religion being 
made the most important subject of study. The attempt should be made 



COLLEGE ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS. 67 

rather to understand the organization and working of Senatorial government 
in the third and second centuries B. C. than to trace the changes made in 
Roman institutions in the fifth and fourth centuries. From 300 B. C. to the 
death of Marcus Aurelius the study must be relatively detailed and thorough. 
After this period the course should move rapidly, lingering only on the reigns 
of Diocletian, Constantine, and Justinian. The period of, and after, the Bar- 
barian Invasions must be viewed from the Roman side. Hence little attention 
should be given to Germanic or Mohammedan migrations and institutions and 
to the beginnings of the modern nations, but emphasis should be placed upon 
those institutions which helped to preserve and to pass on to later ages the 
contributions of Roman civilization; as, for example, the development of Roman 
law and of the Christian Church. Throughout, wherever possible, the treat- 
ment should be biographical. 

B. Medieval and Modern Histoiy. 
One unit. 

The broad plan of this course should be to devote one-quarter of the year's 
work to the period prior to about 1300 A. D., closing with the death of Pope 
Boniface VIII ; the second quarter should carry forward to about 1660, closing 
with the readjustments in the treaties of Westphalia and of the Pyrenees ; 
the third quarter should close with the Congress of Vienna in 1815 ; and the 
work of the fourth quarter should be adjusted so as to give the last half of 
the time to events since 1878, with the purpose of explaining clearly the causes 
and the issues of the war of 1914. 

The contribution of the Roman Empire, the Germans, the Christian Church, 
and Mohammedanism to medieval civilization, form the introduction to the 
study of feudalism, the Crusades, the formation of European states, and the 
varied aspects of medieval society. The several phases of the Renaissance 
and of the Reformation should be supplemented by study of the discoveries 
outside of Europe and of colonial rivalries. The absolute monarchy of Louis 
XIV, the enlightened despotism of Frederick the Great, and the republican 
government of Revolutionary France should be explained as types in the de- 
velopment of government on the continent. While the Napoleonic period should 
not be neglected, special emphasis should be laid upon the Industrial Revolu- 
tion — its political and social aspects — upon the growth of nationalism and 
democracv, and upon the economic expansion of European states outside of 
Europe. 

C. Modern History. 

One unit. 

After a brief survey of the international and colonial developments since the 
age of discovery, . the course should begin with a cross-section of the govern- 
mental, social, and cultural conditions in Europe about 1660 A. D. The abso- 
lute monarchy of Louis XIV, the parliamentary government of England, the 
enlightened despotism of Frederick the Great, and the republican government 
of Revolutionary France and the imperialism of Napoleon should be studied 
as types of government in the transition from medieval feudalism to present- 
day democracy. Attention should be given to the growth of national states 
and to the leading international and colonial problems since 1660 which cul- 
minate in the British Empire with its self-governing dominions, the partition 
of Africa, the awakening of the Far East, and the great international rivalries 



bb AMERICAN FACILITIES FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS. 

of the present generation. Emphasis should be laid upon the Industrial Revo- 
lution — its political and social aspects — and some attention should be given 
to the leading features of the internal history of England, France, and Ger- 
many. The study of the last half century should include some account of the 
great material changes, important inventions, and intellectual, social, and 
humanitarian movements. 

D. English History. 

One unit. 

The division of the work between the two half years should be made at 
about 1660. 

During the first half year, the periods of the early Plantagenets (Henry II 
and Edward I), of the Tudors, and of the early Stuarts should receive emphasis. 
Though the economic conditions and the relations with Scotland and France 
and later with Spain are interesting as well as important, some attention should 
be given to such more difficult topics as Anglo-Norman feudalism; the origins 
of the Constitution, especially the Great Charter and the rise of Parliament; 
and the development from feudal monarchy toward parliamentary government. 
Some attempt also should be made to explain the development and character 
of the Christian church in England, its relations with papacy, the later severance 
of these relations, the establishment of the national church, and the Puritan 
movement. 

In the second half year, starting with the Restoration, attention should first 
be given to the continued struggle between Crown and Parliament, culminating 
in the establishment of responsible government. In studying the great wars 
with France, attention should be directed to the commercial and colonial expan- 
sion in America and in the East. With regard to imperial policy, the causes and 
effects of the Scottish and Irish unions and the revolt of the American colonies 
should be explained. The study of the revolution in agriculture, industry, and 
transportation should include some consideration of the consequent political and 
social reforms. Since the Reform Act of 1867, emphasis should be laid upon 
the more important reforms affecting economic, social, and political life, and 
upon the problem of Ireland. Some idea should be given of the growth and 
nature of British power in India, and the problem of imperial organization. 

In general, it is desirable to emphasize the important epochs and the greater 
movements rather than to give each reign equal stress ; to trace developments 
in so far as possible; to secure a clear comprehension of the more influential 
personalities ; and to show the relations of English history to the history of 
other countries, especially the United States. 

E. American History- 
One unit. 

The course in American history should be so arranged that the work of the 
first half year will include the administration of John Quincy Adams, while 
that of the second half year will include events of recent occurrence. In the 
work of the first half year considerably more time should be spent on the 
period from 1763 to 1829 than on the period from early times to 1763 ; and in 
the work of the second half year more time should be given to the period since 
the Civil War than to that before. 

For the guidance of both teachers and students the following suggestions are 
made: 



COLLEGE -ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS. 69 

1. That sucn topics as the routes of the principal discoverers and explorers, 
the resulting claims and settlements, campaigns of the principal wars, and terri- 
torial growth of the United States be studied primarily as map work. 

2. That the European background should be given particular attention during 
the colonial period and during the national period to 1823. 

3. That the various attempts at colonial union, the experiments in federal 
government, and the growth of federal power be especially emphasized. 

4. That too much time should not be given to the topics of slavery, secession, 
and the reconstruction period. Instead, special attention should be paid to 
territorial expansion, and social and industrial growth. 

5. That special importance should be accorded the policy of the United States 
in foreign affairs, tariff, banking, civil service, currency, corporation control, 
conservation of national resources, capital and labor, and other present-day 
problems. 

6. That familiarity with the lives of great Americans should be especially 
encouraged. 

F. Civil Government. 

One-lialf unit. 

Civil government in the United States (National, State, and local), its con- 
stitution, organization, and actual working. 

The candidate will be expected to show such knowledge of the field as may 
be acquired from the study of a good textbook of not less than 300 pages, sup- 
plemented by collateral reading and discussion. 

For the guidance of both teacher and student the following list of topics is 
suggested : 

1. The purposes of government, including prevention of crime, care of de- 
pendents, preservation of public health, education, taxation, conservation of 
natural resources, immigration, and control of commerce. 

2. The division of power and of activities among Federal, State, and local 
governments. 

3. The Federal Government : its organization and working. 

4. State government : its organization, scope, and problems. 

5. Local government, with special attention to the forms and problems of 
municipal government. 

6. Parties : their function and organization ; the machinery of nomination 
and election. 

7. Attempts at reform : initiative and referendum, recall, short ballot, etc. 

Note. — The above list of topics is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather 
to suggest such representative topics as should be included in the school course. 

G. American History and Civil Government. 

One unit. 

Candidates who wish to offer American history and civil government should 
devote approximately two-thirds of the allotted time to the study of American 
history, and one-third to the study of civil government. How this division of 
time should be arranged must be left to the experience of the individual teachers 
since the practice has been found to vary so widely that no general direction 
can be given. 

In the time devoted to the study of American history the course should cover 
lightly the period of discovery and settlement and the colonial period to 1763. 



70 AMERICAN FACILITIES FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS. 

The period from 1763 to IS37 should be covered with care. In the same way 
less emphasis may he placed upon the period from the end of the administra- 
tion of Andrew Jackson to 1S65 in order that time may be found to stress the 
period since the Civil War. 

In the time devoted to the study of civil government the student should make 
a careful study of the Constitution of the United States, of the Federal Gov- 
ernment, its powers, organization, and workings; should understand the rela- 
tions between the State and the Federal Government, and the general nature 
and extent of the powers reserved to the States. 

The examiners in preparing the question papers will be influenced by the 
consideration that the work of this course must be done more thinly than in 
course E and with much less time for collateral reading. 

1. That such topics as the routes of the principal discoverers and explorers, 
the resulting claims and settlements, campaigns of the principal wars, and the 
territorial growth of the United States be studied as map work. 

2. That the various attempts at colonial union, the experiments in Federal 
Government, and the growth of Federal power be especially emphasized. 

3. That too much time should not be given to the topics of slavery, secession, 
and the reconstruction period. Instead special attention should be paid to terri- 
torial expansion, and social and industrial growth. 

4. That special importance should be accorded the policy of the United States 
in foreign affairs, tariff, banking, civil service, currency, corporation control, 
conservation of national resources, capital and labor, and other present-day 
problems. 

5. That familiarity with the lives of great Americans should be especially 
encouraged. 

The following topics should be mentioned : 

6. The purposes of government, including prevention of crime, care of de- 
pendents, preservation of public health, education, taxation, immigration, and 
control of commerce. 

7. The division of power and of activities among Federal, State, and local 
governments. 

8. The Federal Government : its organization and working. 

9. State government : its organization, scope, and problems. 

10. Parties : their function and organization ; the machinery of nomination 
and election. 

11. Attempts at reform : initiative and referendum, recall, short ballot, etc. 

Note. — The above list is not intended to be exhaustive but rather to suggest 
such representative topics as should be included in the school course. 

LATIN"— NEW REQUIREMENTS. 

The following requirements in Latin are in accordance with the recommendations made to 
the American Philological Association by the Commission on College Entrance Requirements 
in Latin, October, 1909. 62 

I. Amount and Range of the Reading Required. 

(1) The Latin reading, without regard to the prescription of particular 
authors and works, shall be not less in amount than Caesar, Gallic War, I-IV ; 
Cicero, the orations against Catiline, for the Manilian Law, and for Arehias; 
Vergil, ./Eneid, I-VI. 

(2) The amount of reading specified above shall be selected by the schools 
from the following authors and works: Caesar (Gallic War and Civil War) and 

02 This commission and its work are described ni the Tenth Annual Report of the secre- 
tary of the College Entrance Examination Board, pages 4-7. 



COLLEGE ENTRANCE REQUIREMENT'S. 71 

Nepos (Lives) ; Cicero (orations, letters, and De Senectute) and Sallust 
(Catiline and Jugurthine War) ; Vergil (Bucolics, GeOrgics, and iEneid) and 
Ovid (Metamorphoses, Fasti, and Tristia). 

II. Scope of the Examinations. 

(1) Translation at Sight.' — Candidates will be examined in translation at 
sight of both prose and verse. The vocabulary, constructions, and range of 
ideas of the passages set will be suited to the preparation secured by the read- 
ing indicated above. 

(2) Prescribed Reading. — Candidates will be examined also upon the follow- 
ing prescribed reading : 

In 1919. Cicero, orations for the Manilian Law, and for Archias ; Vergil, iEneid, 

I, II, and either IV or VI, at the option of the candidate. 
In 1920, 1921, and 1922. Cicero, the third oration against Catiline and the 

orations for Archias and Marcellus ; Vergil, JEneid, II, III, and VI. 
In 1923, 1924, and 1925. Cicero, the fourth oration against Catiline and the 
oration for the Manilian Law; Vergil, iEneid, I and IV; Ovid, Metamor- 
phoses, Book III, 1-137 (Cadmus); IV, 55-166 (Pyramus and Thisbe), 
and 663-764 (Perseus and Andromeda) ; VI, 165-312 (Niobe) ; VIII, 
183-235 (Dsedalus and Icarus) ; X, 1-77 (Orpheus and Eurydice) ; XI, 
85-145 (Midas). 
Accompanying the different passages will be questions on subject matter, 
literary and historical allusions, and prosody. Every paper in which passages 
from the prescribed reading are set for translation will contain also one or 
more passages for translation at sight ; and candidates must deal satisfactorily 
with both these parts of the paper, or they will not be given credit for either 
part. 

(3) Grammar and Composition. — The examinations in grammar and compo- 
sition will demand thorough knowledge of all regular inflections, all common 
irregular forms, and the ordinary syntax and vocabulary of the prose authors 
read in school, with ability to use this knowledge in writing simple Latin prose. 

Suggestions Concerning Preparation. 

Exercises in translation at sight should begin in school with the first lessons 
in which Latin sentences of any length occur, and should continue throughout 
the course with sufficient frequency to insure correct methods of work on the 
part of the student. From the outset particular attention should be given to 
developing the ability to take in the meaning of each word — and so, gradually, 
of the whole sentence — just as it stands ; the sentence should be read and under- 
stood in the order of the original, with full appreciation of the force of each 
word as it comes, so far as this can be known or inferred from that which has 
preceded, and from the form and the position of the word itself. The habit of 
reading in this way should be encouraged and cultivated as the best preparation 
for all the translating that the student has to do. No translation, however, 
should be a mechanical metaphrase. Nor should it be a mere loose paraphrase. 
The full meaning of the passage to be translated, gathered in the way described 
above, should finally be expressed in clear and natural English. 

A written examination can not test the ear or tongue, but proper instruction 
in any language will necessarily include the training of both. The school 
work in Latin, therefore, should include much reading aloud, writing from 
dictation, and translation from the teacher's reading. Learning suitable 
passages by heart is also very useful, and should be more practised. 

The work in composition should give the student a. better understanding of 
the Latin he is reading at the time, if it is prose, and greater facility in read- 



72 AMERICAN FACILITIES FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS. 

forg. It is desirable, however, that there should be systematic and regular work 
in composition during The time in which poetry is read as well; for this work 
the prose authors already studied should be used as models. 

Subjects for Examination. 

Latin 1, 2, 4, and 5 are counted as one unit each, 3 as two units, and 6 as one- 
half unit ; out 8 has no assigned value unless offered alone; 1, 2, and 6 have no 
assigned values unless offered with 4 or 5, and in no case is the total require- 
ment to be counted as more than four units. 

1. Grammar. The examination will presuppose the reading of the required 

amount of prose (see I, 1 and. 2), including the prose works prescribed 
(see II, 2). 

2. Elementary Prose Composition. The examination will presuppose the 

reading of the required amount of prose (see I, 1 and 2), including the 
prose works prescribed (see II, 2). 

3. Second- Year Latin. This examination is offered primarily for candidates 

intending to enter colleges which require only two years of Latin or 
accept so much as a complete preparatory course. It will presuppose 
reading not less in amount than Caesar, Gallic War, I-IV, selected by 
the schools from Csesar (Gallic War and Civil War:) and Nepos {Lives) ; 
but the passages set will be chosen with a view to sight translation. 
The paper will include easy grammatical questions and some simple 
composition. 

4. Cicero 63 (orations for the Manilian Law and for Archias) and Sight 

Translation of Prose. — The examination will presuppose the reading of 
the required amount of prose (see I, 1 and 2). 
124. Latin 1, 2, and 4 combined. 

5. Vergil 63 (JEneid, I, II, and either IV or VI, at the option of the candi- 

date) and Sight Translation of Poetry. — The examination will presup- 
pose the reading of the required amount of poetry (see I, 1 and 2). 

6. Advanced Prose Composition. 

LATIN— OLD REQUIREMENTS. 

The recommendations of the Committee of Twelve of the American Philological Association 
were included in the Report of the Committee of the National Education Association on College 
Entrance Requirements. Some of the examinations in Latin formerly held by the board are 
now superseded by examinations described above. 

P. Advanced Sight Translation of Prose of no greater difficulty than ordi- 
nary passages from Cicero's orations. 
Q. Sight Translation of Poetry of no greater difficulty than Vergil's 2Encid. 

GREEK. 

The following requirements in Greek conform as closely as possible to the recommendations 
of the Committee of Twelve of the American Philological Association. 

Al Grammar. — The inflections ; the simpler rules for composition and deriva- 
tion of words ; syntax of cases and the verbs ; structure of sentences in 
general, with particular regard to relative and conditional sentences, 
indirect discourse, and the subjunctive. 64 One-half unit. 

63 In 1920 there will be a change in the Latin prescribed for intensive study, see pages 
70 and 71. 

w Some colleges consider Greek Al and Greek A2 as together constituting a single indi- 
visible subject.

Two units. 

The requirement in Spanish, which follows the form and spirit of the recommendations 
made for French and German by the Committee of Twelve of the Modern Language Association, 
is based upon recommendations made by a committee of that association in December, 1910. 

THE AIM OF THE INSTRUCTION. 

At the end of the elementary course the pupil should be able to 
pronounce Spanish accurately, to read at sight easy Spanish prose, 
to put into Spanish simple English sentences taken from the lan- 
guage of every-day life or based upon a portion of the Spanish text 
read, and to answer questions on the rudiments of the grammar, as 
indicated below. 

THE WORK TO BE DONE. 

During the first year the work should comprise: 

1. Careful drill in pronunciation. 

2. The rudiments of grammar, including the conjugation of the regular and the 

more common irregular verbs, the inflection of nouns, adjectives, and pro- 
nouns, and the elementary rules of syntax. 

3. Exercises containing illustrations of the principles of grammar. 

4. The careful reading and accurate rendering into good English of about 100 

pages of easy prose and verse, with translation into Spanish of easy varia- 
tions of the sentences read.

tionary of the Royal Spanish Academy ; one or more manuals of the history 
of Spanish literature, such as that by Fitzmaurice-Kelly, and Ticknor's His-

mercial life. The use of graphical methods and illustrations, particularly in 

connection with the solution of equations, is also expected.

One unit. 

The present definition of the requirement in physics was! framed by a commission, the ap- 
pointment of which was authorized by the College Entrance Examination Board in May, 1907. 
The report of the Commission was accepted in April, 1909. 74 

General Statement. 

1. The course of instruction in physics should include: 

(a.) The study of one standard textbook, for the purpose of obtaining a 
connected and comprehensive view of the subject. The student should be 
given opportunity and encouragement to consult other scientific literature. 

(&) Instruction by lecture-table demonstrations, to be used mainly for illus- 
tration of the facts and phenomena of physics in their qualitative aspects and 
in their practical applications. 

(c) Individual laboratory work consisting of experiments requiring at least 
the time of 30 double periods, two hours in the laboratory to be counted as 
equivalent to one hour of classroom work. The experiments performed by 
each student should number at least 30. Those named in the appended list 
are suggested as suitable. The work should be so distributed' as to give a 
wide range of observation and practice. 

The aim of laboratory work should be to supplement the pupil's fund of 
concrete knowledge and to cultivate his power of accurate observation and 
clearness of thought and expression. The exercises should be chosen with a 
view to furnishing forceful illustrations of fundamental principles and their 
practical applications. They should be such as yield results capable of ready 
interpretation, obviously in conformity with theory, and free from the disguise 
of unintelligible units. 

Slovenly work should not be tolerated, but the effort for precision should not 
lead to the use of apparatus or processes so complicated as to obscure the 
principle involved. 

2. Throughout the whole course special attention should be paid to the 
common illustrations of physical laws and to their industrial applications. 

3. In the solution of numerical problems, the student should be encouraged 
to make use of the simple principles of algebra and geometry to reduce the 
difficulties of solution. Unnecessary mathematical difficulties should be avoided 
and care should be exercised to prevent the student from losing sight of the 
concrete facts in the manipulation of symbols. 

Syllabus. 

The following is a list of topics which are deemed fundamental and which 
should therefore be included in every well-planned course of elementary 
physics. Only a few of the most important applications of these topics have

tary of the College Entrance Examination Board, pages 4-12.

CHEMISTKY. 

One unit. 

The requirement in chemistry was framed by a representative commission, the appointment 
of which was authorized by the College Entrance Examination Board in April, 1911. The re- 
port of the commission was adopted by the board in April, 1913. 76 

The following requirement has been planned so as to make it 
equally suitable for the instruction of the student preparing for 
college and for the student not going beyond the secondary school. 
To this end the requirement is divided into two parts. 

Part I contains a minimum list of essential topics. In the exami- 
nation papers there will be no optional questions on this part, and 
these questions will count 60 per cent. 

75 To meet the board's requirement the number of hours here entered must be at least 
120. 

76 An account of the commission and its work will be found in the Thirteenth Annual 
Report of the Secretary of the College Entrance Examination Board, pages 6-17. 



86 AMERICAN FACILITIES FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS. 

Part II is supplementary, and provides for a more extended pro-' 
gramme along three main lines, namely : 

A. Descriptive chemistry. 

B. Chemical principles or theories. 

O. Applications of chemistry in the household or in the arts. 

This part of the examination paper offers' a choice of questions and 
will count 40 per cent. In his answers the candidate must confine 
himself to two out of three groups of questions. 

The teacher may thus devote the time to any two of the three 
groups indicated, and so adapt his course to local conditions or per- 
sonal preference. It should be clearly recognized that thoroughness 
in teaching must not be sacrificed to an attempt to cover the topics 
named in all three of the groups. 

It is required that the candidate's preparation in chemistry should 
include : 

(1) Individual laboratory work, comprising at least 40 exercises selected from a 

list of 60 or more, not very different from the list below. 

(2) Instruction by lecture-table demonstrations, to be used mainly as a basis 

for questioning upon the general principles involved in the pupil's 
laboratory investigations. 

(3) The study of at least one standard textbook, to the end that the pupil may 

gain a comprehensive and connected view of the most important facts 
and laws of elementary chemistry. 

Part I. Minimum List of Essentials. 

The following outline includes such representative topics as should be 
studied in the classroom and laboratory. The material is, for the most part, 
common to all elementary textbooks and laboratory manuals. For convenience 
of statement the topics are classified without reference to the proper order for 
presentation. The actual order will be determined by that employed in the 
textbook, or by the individual teacher himself. 

The preparation, properties and uses of the following elements — hydrogen, oxy- 
gen, atmospheric nitrogen, chlorine ; the properties and uses of carbon (including 
allotropic forms), sulphur, sodium, zinc, iron, copper, and gold. In the case 
of the metals mentioned, the action of air, of water, and of dilute acids should 
be discussed. 

The preparation (one method), properties and uses of the following com- 
pounds — hydrochloric acid, sodium chloride, silver chloride; sulphur dioxide, 
sulphuric acid (preparation by the contact process), hydrogen sulphide; 
calcium phosphate; carbon dioxide, including its relation to vital processes;

elements ; . acids, bases, neutralization, and salts ; the identification of a few 
substances by means of characteristic properties and reactions; quantitative 
character of chemical action as illustrated by one or two experiments. 

The laws of Boyle and Charles, quantitatively, with simple problems in each 
separately ; instances and statement of the laws of conservation of mass, con- 
servation of energy, and definite proportions ; illustration of the law of multiple

organic compounds ; use of formulae in constructing and balancing equations ; 
simple exercises in chemical arithmetic, the atomic weights and the formulas of 
the compounds involved being given, calculation of (a) percentage composition, 
(b) weights of substances concerned in chemical reactions, (c) the volume of a 
gas resulting from a chemical reaction (the weight of a liter of the gas under 
the conditions of the experiment being given). 

Energy change as characteristic of chemical action; combustion (in an ele- 
mentary way) ; effect of concentration as illustrated by combustion in air and 
in oxygen ; flame ; oxidation by oxygen, and reduction by hydrogen and by 
carbon ; catalysis, as illustrated by one or two simple examples of contact ac- 
tion ; solution, saturated solution, degrees of solubility ; separation of solids 
from solution, precipitation including crystallization (not crystallography) ; 
electrolysis, as illustrated by one or two cases. 

Chemical terms should be defined and explained, and the pupil should be able 
to illustrate and apply the ideas they embody. The theoretical topics are not 
intended to form separate subjects of study, but should be taught only so far 
as is necessary for the correlation and explanation of the experimental facts. 

It should be the aim of the teacher to emphasize, as opportunity offers, the 
essential importance of chemistry to modern civilization. 

Part II. Supplementary Requirement. 

A. Descriptive: The chief physical and chemical characteristics, the prepara- 
tion and the recognition of the following elements: Oxygen (ozone), hydrogen, 
carbon, nitrogen, chlorine, bromine, iodine, sulphur, phosphorus, sodium, alumin- 
ium, zinc, iron, lead, and copper.

oxide ; nitrogen peroxide ; hypochlorous acid and one salt ; sulphurous acid and 
sodium sulphite ; the sulphate and the chloride of calcium ; aluminium sulphate 
and alum ; the sulphate and the chloride of zinc ; ferrous sulphate, ferrous 
chloride, ferric chloride, ferric oxide and ferric hydroxide; the acetate and the 
carbonates of lead ; litharge and red lead ; cupric sulphate ; the chlorides of 
mercury (preparation not required) ; silver nitrate.

Avogadro's hypothesis derivation of the hydrogen molecule as H 2 , propor- 
tionality between weights of like volumes of gases and molecular weights ; 
simpler aspects of the theory of electrolytic dissociation in so far as necessary 
to explain electrolysis, neutralization and reactions to litmus paper of copper 
sulphate and sodium carbonate solutions; reversibility of chemical actions. 

C. Applications: In the treatment of all the above topics, due consideration 
should be given to the more familiar industrial and household applications of 
the substances involved. In addition, the following topics may be considered 
in some detail : treatment of waters for laundry and industrial purposes ; soaps 
and washing powders ; common fuels ; operation of household stoves and fur- 
naces; general classes of foods; simpler metallurgy of iron and steel; elec- 
trolysis as applied to electroplating and the refining of metals; the simple 
chemistry of the internal combustion engine. 

The examination questions will be confined to the above topics, but it must 
be understood that the College Entrance Examination Board does not suggest 
that the instruction be thus limited. In case the number of assigned periods 
is above the average, the teacher may include a larger amount of descriptive 
and theoretical chemistry, or interesting applications of chemistry to subjects 
like the removal of grease, rust, ink, and mildew stains ; glass ; cement ; typical 
alloys ; metallurgy of zinc and aluminium ; important fertilizers ; photography ; 
organic compounds like wood alcohol, ether, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, 
carbon disulphide and explosives.

Laboratory Notebook, 

• 

The College Entrance Examination Board does not require the submission of 
the candidate's laboratory notebook as part of the examination in chemistry. 
The notebook, if required by the college or scientific school that the candidate 
wishes to enter, should be forwarded directly to the proper authorities of that 
institution. It should contain: 

(1) A brief description in the pupil's own words of the materials and appa- 
ratus employed and the operations performed in each experiment, sketches being 
used to represent apparatus where this is practicable. 

(2) Records in the pupil's own words of phenomena as actually observed in 
the course of each experiment. 

(3) A statement of the important conclusions which may be properly drawn 
from the phenomena as observed.

Special importance should be attached to the evidence which the notebook 
affords of independent and careful thought on the part of the pupil, as indi- 
cated by ability to recognize and express clearly the significance of the work 
actually performed. Statements which have been merely transcribed from text- 
books or manuals are by no means satisfactory. The notebook should contain 
an index of experiments. 

Teacher's Laboratory Certificate.

BIOLOGY, BOTANY, ZOOLOGY. 

One unit each. 

The requirement in biology, botany, and zoology was framed by a representative commission, 
the appointment of which was authorized by the College Entrance Examination Board in April, 
1914. The report of iihe commission was adopted by the board in November, 1915. ™ 

INTRODUCTION. 

The following outline includes the principles of biology, or of botany, or of 
zoology which are indispensable to a general survey of these sciences. It is 
not intended to indicate order of study of the topics — this must be left to the 
teacher and the textbook. 

The courses named below should be developed on the basis of laboratory 
study guided by definite directions. This should be supplemented by the care- 

7H To meet the board's requirement the number of hours here entered must be at least 
120. 

79 An account of the commission and its work will be found in the Fifteenth Annual Re- 
port of the Secretary of the College Entrance Examination Board, page 12. 



COLLEGE ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS., 91 

ful study of at least one modern elementary textbook. At least one-half of 
the time should be devoted to the practical studies of the laboratory. Pupils 
should be encouraged to do supplementary work in the line of natural history, 
especially if good nature studies have not preceded the high-school course. A 
notebook with carefully labeled outline drawings of the chief structures 
studied anatomically, with notes on demonstrations, and in explanation of draw- 
ings, with descriptions of experiments, with dates and with index, should 
be prepared by the pupil in connection with practical work. 

The College Entrance Examination Board does not require the submission 
of the laboratory notebook as part of the examination. The notebook, or 
the laboratory certificate, if required by the college or scientific school that the 
candidate wishes to enter, should be forwarded directly to the proper authori- 
ties of that institution. A suitable blank form for the laboratory certificate 
may be obtained from the secretary of the board. 

This syllabus provides for four different types of courses : 
Course I — a year of biology with emphasis on the applications of biology to 

human welfare. 
Course II — a year of biology with emphasis on the structure and functions of 

plants and animals. 
Course III — a year of botany. 
Course IV — a year of zoology.

tissues. 



COLLEGE ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS. 93 



B. Physiology. 



Note. — Although for convenience of reference, the physiological topics are 
here grouped together, they should by no means be studied by themselves 
and apart from structure. 

I, Plant physiology. 

(a) Functions of water in the plant ; absorption (osmosis) ; path 
of transfer ; transpiration ; turgidity and its mechanical value. 

( b ) Photosynthesis ; dependence on chlorophyll, light, and carbon 
dioxide; evolution of oxygen. 

(c) Respiration.; necessity for oxygen; evolution of carbon 
dioxide. 

( d ) Enzymes ; digestion and the translocation of foods ; other 
reactions. 

(e) (Optional) Nature of stimulus and response; irritability; 
geotropism ; heliotropism ; hydrotropism. 

II, Animal physiology. 

The general physiology of the types in A II 1 above, involving 
the essentials of food getting, digestion, absorption, circulation, 
respiration, cell metabolism, secretion, excretion, locomotion, and 
nervous functions. This study should apply comparatively the ele- 
ments of human physiology. So far as practical, structure and func- 
tion should be studied together. 
III. Comparison of the general life-processes in plants, animals and man. 
C. Reproduction, Life-histoey, and Classification. 
I. Plants. 

1. Asexual and sexual reproduction in so far as it occurs- in each 
of the forms studied in A I 1 above ; pollination and fertilization ; 
alternation of generations in mosses and ferns. 

2. Classification of plants into the great divisions and prominent 
subdivisions of angiosperms. 

Note. — The teaching of classification should be by practical work, so as 
to train the pupil to recognize plants and to point out the chief taxonomic 
features. The meaning of species, genera, and the larger groups should be 
developed by constructive practical work with representatives of plant 
orders. So far as possible familiar forms should be used. 

The ability to use manuals for the determination of the species 
of flowering plants is not considered essential in this course, 
although it is regarded as desirable. It should not be cultivated to 
the exclusion of any part of the course, but may well be made 
voluntary work for those showing a taste for it. 

The preparation of an herbarium is not required. If made, it 
should not constitute a simple accumulation of species, but should 
represent some distinct idea of plant associations, or of mor- 
phology, or of the representation of the groups, etc. Protection 
of wild flowers should be encouraged. 
II. Animals. 

1. Asexual reproduction of a protozoan (preferably Parame- 
cium ) ; reproduction and regeneration in hydra ; typical life- 
histories of insects; the very general external features of embry- 
ological development of a fish or a frog; metamorphosis of an 
amphibian. 

(Optional) Alteration of generations in hydroids.

2. The classification of animals into phyla and leading classes 
(except the modern classification of the worms) and the great 
characteristics of these groups. In the case of insects and verte- 
brates the characteristics of the prominent orders. 

Note. — The teaching- of classification should be by practical work, so as 
to train the pupil to recognize animals and to point out the chief taxonomic 
features. The meaning of species, genera, and the larger groups should be 
developed by constructive practical work with representatives of insect or 
vertebrate orders. So far as possible familiar forms should be used.

cross-pollination; leaf exposure; mesophytes; hydrophytes; halo- 
phytes; xerophytes ; climbers; epiphytes; parasites; saprophytes; 
insectivora. 

The topics in ecology, like those in physiology, are to be studied 
not by themselves, but along with the structures with which they 
are most closely related.

The natural history (including external structure in relation to 
adaptions, life histories, geographical range, relations to other plants 
and animals, and economic relations) of common vertebrates and 
invertebrates, so far as the representatives of these groups are 
obtainable in the region where the course is given. 

Actual examination of common animals should be supplemented 
by reading. It is not expected that there will be time for making 
extensive notebooks on this natural-history work. So far as time 
permits, drawings and notes should be made. 

E. (Optional) History and Theory of Biology. 

I. Some leading facts regarding the epoch-making discoveries of bio- 
logical history and the careers of such eminent naturalists as Lin- 
naeus, Darwin, Huxley, Pasteur, and Agassis should be presented. 
II. The prominent evidences of relationship, suggesting evolution within 
such groups as the angiosperms, the decapods, the insects, and 
the vertebrates should be demonstrated. A few facts regarding 
the struggle for existence, adaptation to environment, variations 
of individuals, and man's selective influence should be pointed out. 

F. Applications of Biology to Human Welfare. 

I. Plants. 

1. Importance of plants to man for food, clothing, medicine, fuel, 
furniture, building, and decoration. Examples of each. 

2. Importance of forests and other vegetation in giving off mois- 
ture, in preventing floods (with consequent loss of life and prop- 
erty), and in maintaining a more uniform flow of streams. Dangers 
to forests from fire, insects, and improper methods of lumbering; 
methods of forest protection ; necessity for reforesting ; work of the

show its casual relations to other topics, and, so far as possible, the effects of 
earth features on life conditions should be emphasized. 
The candidate's preparation should include: 

(1) The study of one of the leading secondary textbooks in physical geogra- 
phy, that a knowledge may be gained of the essential principles, and of well- 
selected facts illustrating those principles. 

(2) Individual laboratory work, comprising at least 40 exercises selected 
from a list not very different from the one given below. From one-third to 
one-half of the candidate's classroom work should be devoted to laboratory

should contain an index of subjects, and should be a true and original record 
of the pupil's work. 

The College Entrance Examination Board does not require the submission 
of the laboratory notebook as part of the examination in geography. The note- 
book, or the laboratory certificate, if required by the college or scientific school 
that the candidate wishes to enter, should be forwarded to the proper authorities 
of that institution. A suitable blank form for the laboratory certificate required 
may be obtained from the secretary of the board. 

DRAWING. 

Freehand Drawing. 

One unit. 

The requirement in freehand drawing is based upon the statement of entrance requirements 
in this subject as contained in the catalogues of colleges and universities represented in the 
College Entrance Examination Board. 

The candidate's preparation in freehand drawing should be directed toward 
training him in accurate observation and in defiDite and truthful representation 
of form, without attempt to represent color or color values. 

The candidate should be able to draw correctly and with lines of good quality 
simple form in correct perspective in the size in which it is felt in the plane of 
the drawing, or larger or smaller. It is recommended that pupils should be 
taught to draw from the object itself rather than from the flat. 

Correctness of proportion and accuracy in the angles and curves and struc- 
tural relations of the parts of every object drawn are of the highest importance. 

The elementary principles of perspective are to be thoroughly learned, and the 
candidate should be able to apply them in freehand drawing from the object or 
from the imagination. 

No definite prescription as to method of teaching is made. The examination 
will test the preparation of the candidate in the following points : 

1. Ability to sketch from the object with reasonable correctness as to propor- 
tion, structure, and form. It is recommended that the subjects drawn include 
simple geometrical objects and simple natural objects, such as living plant forms. 

2. Ability to sketch freehand from dictation with reasonable accuracy any 
simple geometrical figure or combination of figures. 

3. Ability to represent accurately in perspective a simple geometrical solid of 
which projection drawings are given, and ability to make consistent projection 
drawings of a simple geometrical solid of which a perspective representation is 
given. 

4. Ability to answer questions in regard to the principles involved in making 
these drawings. 

Mechanical Drawing. 

One unit. 

The requirement in mechanical drawing was framed by a representative commission, the ap- 
pointment of which was authorized by the Joint Committee May, 1915. The report of the com- 
mission was adopted by the College Entrance Examination Board November, 1915. 8l 

INTRODUCTION. 

The commission appointed to formulate the definition of the requirement 
in mechanical drawing is of the opinion that in the time available for the sub- 
ject in \nost secondary schools only very elementary courses in mechanical 

81 An account of the commission will be found in the Fifteenth Annual Report of the 
secretary of the College Entrance Examination Board, page 12. 



100 AMERICAN FACILITIES FOB FOREIGN STUDENTS. 

drawing should be undertaken, and that thoroughness in fundamentals should 
be the main feature of such courses. Thus, for example, instead of requiring 
the student to make elaborate drawings, inked, tinted, and shaded, the effort 
should be, first of all, to teach him the correct methods of making drawings 
in pencil. When a student is learning to use the drawing instruments he 
may acquire bad habits of work which will cling to him long afterwards, and 
teachers of mechanical drawing should be particularly watchful during the 
early part of a course to insist that the student use only the correct methods 
until they become second nature to him. Likewise, in studying any form of 
projection, the object should be to understand the fundamental principles 
rather than to make elaborate drawings. For this reason, a large variety 
of problems which involve the projections of simple objects in many different 
positions is better than a few elaborate problems which involve complex ob- 
jects in simple positions. In drawing plans and elevations of complex or 
other unfamiliar objects the student is in need of constant help from the in- 
structor, but, once he understands the principles of projection, he can reason- 
ably be required to draw the projections of any simple solid in any specified 
position with very little, if any, help from the instructor. Work which is 
merely copying or which can be done only by depending constantly upon help 
from the instructor is not the kind of training desired. A course in mechanical 
drawing should be one in the application of fundamental principles and not 
one in copying. 

REQUIREMENT. 

The commission has formulated the definition of the requirement with the 
foregoing objects in view, and it is believed that the work of preparation for 
the requirement can be accomplished in approximately two hundred periods 
of sixty minutes each. 

1. Use of Drawing Instruments. — Knowledge of the proper methods of using 
the T-square, triangles, and other drawing instruments, with special reference 
to their use in drawing parallel lines, erecting perpendiculars, and in drawing 
arcs of circles and irregular curves. Skill as judged by the accuracy, neatness, 
and finish of drawings submitted prior to the examination. 

It is of great importance that the student should form correct habits of 
work when learning to use the drawing instruments, and that he should aim 
from the beginning to make his work in pencil clear cut and accurate regard- 
less of whether or not it is to be inked. 

2. Geometric Constructions commonly needed in drafting, particularly those 
which involve special methods of using instruments singly or in combination. 
Accuracy and speed in such methods are desired rather than mere practice in the 
construction of useless geometric designs. A knowledge of the geometric con- 
structions of the common curves, such as the ellipse, the parabola, and the 
hyperbola, is included in the requirements. 

3. Orthographic Projection. — Drawings of solids in specified positions in the 
third angle of projection as given in the examination by descriptions, isometric 
sketches, or models. The student should be able to determine sections of solids 
when the cutting planes are perpendicular to at least one plane of projection 
and to develop any portion of the surface of the solid so cut. 

Solids may be irregular in shape, hollow, grooved, or with raised strips or 
blocks on their surfaces. Sections should be shown not only in projection but 
Jn their true outlines. 

4. Isometric Projection. — Isometric drawings of solids with dimensions prop- 
erly indicated. Isometric drawing is used mainly as a substitute for perspective 



COLLEGE ESTRANGE REQUIREMENTS.. 101 

drawing, but the student should understand that the drawing of an object thus 
represented is exactly the same as an orthographic projection of the object in 
a certain position with respect to the planes of projection, and he should deter- 
mine what this position is when first beginning the subject of isometric projec- 
tion. The student should be prepared to construct an isometric scale, and, if 
required, to use it instead of a true scale. 

5. Working Drawings of simple objects with special reference to— 
(a) Conventional methods of representing sections. 

(&) Proper methods of showing dimensions. 

(c) Some standard form of single stroke freehand lettering such as Rein- 

hardt's. Letters should be of a uniform slope, height, and thickness 
of stroke, well proportioned, well spaced, and well finished. 

(d) Proper method of putting on the drawing explanatory notes for mate- 

rials, methods of construction, finish, etc. 

6. Plates. — Drawings previously made by the candidate must be certified by 
the teacher (or school principal) under whose direction they were drawn, and 
sent, previous to the date of the examination in June, to the secretary of the 
College Entrance Examination Board, 431 West 117th Street, New York, N. Y. 82 

It is not desirable that all the plates should be inked; on the contrary, only 
enough inking should be required to afford sufficient practice in the use of the 
inking pen. A considerable portion of this inking should be done on tracing 
cloth placed over the pencil drawings. It is suggested that the inking be deferred 
in the course until the student can make satisfactory drawings in pencil, and 
that the time saved by not inking all of the plates be spent in a more thorough 
and extensive course in pencil drawing. The student's ability can be judged 
quite as well by the pencil work submitted as by the plates which he has finished 
in ink. 

7. Length of Course. — The time required to accomplish the work outlined above 
is approximately 200 hours, not less than 150 hours of which should be spent 
in the class room under proper supervision. 

DIRECTIONS TO CANDIDATES. 

Instruments Needed for the Examination. — The following must be brought by 
the candidate to the examination : 

A 6H drawing pencil, a pencil eraser, a pair of compasses, a protractor, two 
triangles (45° and 30°-60°), and an accurate 12-inch scale divided to sixteenths 
of an inch. 

The drawing board, T-square, paper, and thumb tacks will be supplied to the 
candidate. 

Additional Suggestions in Regard to Plates. — It will materially lighten the 
labor of examining the plates and facilitate more prompt and accurate reports 
if the candidates will give attention to the following suggestions: 

1. The student should write or print on each plate (preferably near the lower 

right-hand corner) his name, the name of the school at which the plate was 
drawn, and the date on which it was completed. 

2. The plates should be submitted flat, not rolled. 

3. All of the plates of any candidate should be fastened together or placed in a 

single envelope or container. 

4. Attached to the plates or envelope should be the certificate and a mailing 

address for returning the plates. 

5. A convenient size for plates is approximately 11 by 15 inches. 

82 A blank form of the certificate may be obtained from the secretary upon request.

MUSIC. > 

The requirement in music is based on the report of a joint committee representing the East- 
ern Educational Musical Conference and the New England Education League. ' 

Harmony. 

One unit. 

The examination in harmony will consist only of a written test ; there will 
be no test in performance. The candidate should have acquired : 

(1) The ability to harmonize, in four vocal parts, simple melodies of not fewer' 

than eight measures, in soprano or in bass — these melodies will require 
a knowledge of triads and inversions, of diatonic seventh chords and 
inversions, in the major and minor modes ; and of modulation, transient 
or complete, to nearly related keys. 

(2) Analytical knowledge of ninth chords, all nonharmonic tones, and altered 

chords (including augmented chords). [Students are encouraged to 

apply this knowledge in their harmonization.] 
It is urgently recommended that systematic ear training (as to interval, 
melody, and chord ) be a part of the preparation for this examination. Simple 
exercises in harmonization at the pianoforte are recommended. The student 
will be expected to have a full knowledge of the rudiments of music, scales, 
intervals, and staff notation, including the terms and expression marks in com- 
mon use.

DESCBIPTTON OF EXAMINATIONS. 

Chemistry. 

The examination will be adapted to the proficiency of those who have re- 
ceived systematic instruction in the principles of chemistry and their ap- 
plications in a school course in which laboratory experiments are performed 
by the pupil. In order to make due allowance for diversity of instruction in 
different schools, the paper will contain more questions than the candidate is 
expected to answer, and will require the recognition of the phenomena and 
of the laws that are of general significance, and the illustration of such phe- 
nomena and laws by well-chosen examples. It will include not only questions 
on the chemistry of laboratory practice but also, in an elementary fashion, 
questions on the chemistry of the household and of industry, 

English. 

The purpose of this examination will be to test the ability of the candidate 
to define clearly in writing ideas gained both from books and from the life 
around him, and to read with accuracy and appreciation literature as varied 
in subject matter and form as that listed under " Uniform Entrance Require- 
ments in English." Accuracy in the technique of writing will be insisted' upon, 
but no paper will be considered satisfactory which does not show, in addition 
to this accuracy, that the student is able to think for himself and to apply what 
he has learned to the solution of unexpected problems. Although knowledge 
of the subject matter of the particular books prescribed in the " Uniform En- 
trance Requirements in English " is not necessary, yet the requisite ability can 
not be gained without a systematic and progressive study of good literature. 

Freneh. 

The examination will be adapted to the proficiency of those who have studied 
French in school for two, three, or four years. 

The paper will include passages of French prose or verse or both of varying 
degrees of difficulty to be translated into simple and idiomatic English. It 
will also contain passages in English of varying degrees of difficulty to be trans- 
lated into French, and questions on grammar. Opportunity will be given to 
those who have had special training in French to show their ability to express 
themselves in that language. 

German. 

The examination will be adapted to the proficiency of those who have studied 
German in school for two, three, or four years. 

The paper will include passages of German prose or verse or both of varying 
degrees of difficulty to be translated into simple and idiomatic English. It will 
also contain passages in English of -varying degrees of difficulty to be translated 
into German, and questions on grammar. Opportunity will be given to those 
who have had special training in German to show their ability to express them- 
selves in that language. 

Greek. 

The examination will be adapted to the proficiency of those who have studied 
Greek in a systematic school course of five exercises a week, extending through 
two or three school years. 



104 AMERICAN FACILITIES FOB FOREIGN STUDENTS. 

The paper will include passages of simple Attic prose and of Homer to be 
translated at sight, and questions, based upon these passages, to afford the 
candidate means of showing his mastery of the ordinary forms, constructions, 
and idioms of the language. The paper will also include passages in English to 
be turned into Greek, and questions on prosody, on the Homeric poems, and on 
Homeric life. 

History. 

The paper will consist of five divisions made up of questions on ancient his- 
tory, medieval and modern history, modern European history (including Eng- 
lish history from 1760), English history, and American history (including civil 
government). The questions on each division will be partly prescribed and 
partly optional. If the candidate has studied but one of these divisions, he will 
be expected to answer the prescribed questions on that division, one of them 
being a map question. He should spend about two hours on these prescribed 
questions and should devote the remaining hour to the optional questions on the 
same division. If, on the other hand, the candidate has studied two or more of 
these divisions, he will be expected to answer, in addition to the prescribed 
questions on one of these divisions, questions on such other divisions as he may 
have studied. 

In reading the papers, account will be taken of the year of the school program 
in which the subject has been studied. As further evidence of the candidate's 
proficiency, notebooks 85 may be submitted. 

Latin. 

The examination will be adapted to the proficiency of those who have studied 
Latin in a systematic school course of five lessons each week, extending through 
two, three, or four years. 

The paper will include passages of Latin prose and verse of varying degrees of 
difficulty to be translated at sight, and passages for Latin composition of varying 
degrees of difficulty. Accompanying the different passages set, upon the paper 
will be questions on forms, syntax, and the idioms of the language, as well as 
questions on the subject matter, literary and historical, connected with the 
authors usually read in schools. 

Each candidate will choose those parts of the paper which are designed to test 
such proficiency in the language as may properly be acquired in two, three, or 
four years' study ; but a candidate who has studied Latin four years may not 
select the more elementary parts of the paper. The proper parts will be indi- 
cated on the examination paper. 

Mathematics. 

The examination will be adapted to the proficiency of those who have had not 
less than the usual school course in elementary mathematics, comprising algebra 
through quadratics and plane geometry, and will also provide the means by which 
tbose who have extended their study to one or more branches of advanced mathe- 
matics, namely, solid geometry, logarithms and trigonometry, and advanced 
algebra, may exhibit their proficiency in any or all of these branches of mathe- 
matics. There will be two papers, one for those who have had no instruction be- 
yond elementary mathematics, and one for those whose instruction has gone 
farther. Every candidate who has received instruction beyond elementary 

83 The College Entrance Examination Board does not require or receive notebooks. Can- 
didates wishing to submit notebooks must forward them directly to the proper authorities 
of the university, college, or scientific school concerned.

mathematics will be expected to take the paper containing questions on ad- 
vanced mathematics, and to devote at least half his time to those questions which 
are based on the advanced mathematics he has studied. 

Physics. 

The examination will be adaptetd to the proficiency of those who have had 
such a course of school training in the elementary facts and principles of physics 
as is described in the detailed definition of physics. In order to make due allow- 
ance for diversity of instruction in different schools, the paper will contain 
more questions than the candidate is expected to answer. 

Spanish. 

The examination will be adapted to the proficiency of those who have studied 
Spanish in school for two, three, or four years. 

The paper will include passages of Spanish prose or verse or both of varying 
degrees of difficulty to be translated into simple and idiomatic English. It will 
also contain passages in English of varying degrees of difficulty to be translated 
into Spanish and questions on grammar. Opportunity will be given to those 
who have had special training in Spanish to show their ability to express them- 
selves in that language.

ORGANIZATION AND OFFERINGS OF UNIVERSITIES AND 

COLLEGES. 

It would obviously be impossible in the limits set for such a pres- 
entation as that contained in this bulletin to describe, however briefly, 
all the sound and standard institutions at which the foreign student 
might profitably seek general or professional training. Selection has 
been made of those to which foreign students have already gone in 
considerable numbers and of a few others which by reason of par- 
ticular and individual offerings may appropriately be brought to the 
attention of citizens of other countries. 

There are many other institutions of equally high rank which have 
not been included because through the accident of location they have 
not yet drawn many foreign students or because they belong to a 
type of college or university already represented among the institu- 
tions described. Foreign students interested in other institutions 
than those mentioned in this section are urged to correspond with 
the Bureau of Education, which will furnish full and impartial infor- 
mation.

student's time is spent in practical field work, for which the school has at its 
disposal a tract of 1,000 acres at Mil ford, Pa. ; the forests of the New Haven 
Water Co., at New Haven, aggregating 9,000 acres; the school forest at Keene, 
N. H. ; and localities in the Adirondack Mountains of New York and in the 
Southern States. The courses in tropical forestry are of especial interest to 
foreign students, and several students from South American countries have been 
authorized by their governments to attend the School of Forestry for this 
reason. 

The Graduate School is excellently equipped and offers courses leading to 
advanced degrees in all departments. 

Among those departments which are especially noteworthy, either on account 
of the eminence of the professors connected with them or the scope of the

Of special interest to foreign students. — The Audubon Sugar School, which 
is the only institution of its kind in America, is excellently equipped, and 
offers a course for training sugar experts. It includes chemistry, agriculture, 
mechanical engineering, sugar making, study and design of sugar-house ma- 
chinery, sugar chemistry, analysis, and special agriculture of the sugar cane. 
Practical work in the fields and sugar house, at the university sugar experi- 
ment station, is required during two full sugar seasons, and properly qualified 
students may, in their fifth year, receive appointments for the season at stand- 
ard salaries as assistant chemists and ■ engineers. The library is ample and 
the material equipment, including a sugar house, fields of cane, and labora- 
tories, is valued at about $100,000. 

On account of the similarity of the law systems of the State of Louisiana 
and the Spanish- American countries — the main differences between the Louis- 
iana and Spanish codes are differences of detail rather than of fundamental 
principles — the work of the Law School should prove of interest to students 
from those regions.

and its location in a city of the size of New Orleans insures excellent clinical 
facilities. The postgraduate school provides special opportunities for ad- 
vanced study and research, while the course in tropical medicine should attract 
students from southern countries. It consists of lectures and demonstrations, 
laboratory periods, and clinics, and considers in turn diseases due to physical 
and chemical agencies, to vegetable and and animal parasites, and those of un- 
known causation. Three laboratories are devoted especially to this work, one

of which is sot aside for graduate study and research, and the hospital facilities 
are probably unexcelled in the United States. 

Owing to the similarity of the Louisiana Code to that of the Spanish- Ameri- 
can countries, the course in law at Tulane University should be of interest to 
students from those localities. 

The sugar engineering course of the College of Technology differs from any 
other given in the United States. It trains students to design and erect sugar 
factories and to take charge as general superintendents of their chemical and 
mechanical operations. The industrial chemical engineering course gives 
training in applied industrial chemistry as well as mechanical instruction in 
the design of chemical manufacturing plants. Special attention is given to rein- 
forced concrete and structural design, irrigation and drainage. A combined 
course in mechanical and electrical engineering is also given. 

The university is open to white students only.

Of special interest to foreign students. — From its foundation Johns Hopkins 
has been primarily devoted to graduate study and is the pioneer in that field 
in this country. The university is one of the very few in the United States 
requiring two years instead of one for the master's degree. 

The medical school stands in the front rank among the schools of the coun- 
try. Close connection between the university and the Johns Hopkins Hospital 
and dispensary offers excellent clinical facilities and makes possible the empha- 
sis placed upon laboratory and hospital training. Members of the graduating 
class receive appointments as resident house officers in the hospital. 

The Department of Engineering, opened in 1913, is characterized by the same 
thoroughness and excellence of standards as are the other departments of the 
university. Graduate and undergraduate work is now offered in civil, elec- 
trical, and mechanical engineering and chemistry, and a liberal appropriation 
insures complete equipment and every facility for the new laboratories and 
buildings. 

The School of Hygiene and Public Health was opened in the autumn of 1918. 
Courses have been established for the training of qualified persons for public 
health work, and to promote investigative work, in hygiene and preventive 
medicine and provide opportunities for the training of investigators in these 
subjects, and to develop adequate means for the dissemination of sound hygienic 
knowledge. Special and mutual advantages arise from the close relationship 
between the school and the International Health Board of the Rockefeller 
Foundation, particularly in field work and in the opportunities for investiga- 
tion and training in tropical medicine and the control of special diseases.

of close personal relations between professors and students. Its small student 
body and large teaching staff have enabled it to foster these relations. 

Especially noteworthy, "both on account of the eminence of the instructors 
and the comprehensiveness of the courses, is the work in education, under 
which head is included instruction in psychology and pedagogy. The univer- 
sity is one of the few in the country to possess an excellently equipped peda- 
gogical museum. A children's institute provides special facilities for various 
branches of child study. 

Clark College is the only college mentioned in this bulletin which regularly 
grants the A. B. in three years. It seeks to do this without lowering the stand- 
ard of the degree by requiring a greater amount of work of each student weekly, 
by the exclusion of extraneous activities (such as intercollegiate athletics) 
which make large demands on the students' time, by maintaining a relatively 
large faculty, and by the immediate dismissal of all students who can not 
maintain the required pace. 

The library, used jointly by university and college, is exceptional in equip- 
ment and administration. It is maintained by an ample separate endowment 
which permits the purchase of any book needed for any investigation.

Of special interest to foreign students. — Harvard College off ers ' exceptional 
advantages for undergraduate study because of the strong graduate schools 
included in the university, and because of the fact that many of the most 
distinguished scholars connected with these schools also give instruction to 
undergraduate students. 

The schools of engineering, architecture and landscape architecture, and 
forestry are strictly graduate schools, and therefore demand a more extended 
general and special training than is usually required to secure degrees in these 
departments. 

The medical school occupies a new spacious and magnificently equipped group 
of buildings in ' Boston within easy reach of the hospitals affiliated with it. 
Clinical instruction is given at 17 hospitals, dispensaries, and infirmaries. This 
number includes the largest State and city institutions. "About 80 appoint- 
ments as internes and assistants are made annually to hospitals in and about 
Boston for terms of service varying from six months to two years." Almost 
every graduate may receive one of these appointments. 

The school for health officers, conducted by Harvard University and the 
Massachusetts Institute of Technology in cooperation, prepares young men for 
administrative positions as health officers, members of boards of health, secre- 
taries, agents., or inspectors of health organizations. The subjects embraced in 
the course include medical, biological, hygienic, and engineering sciences, 
together with practical health administration. 

The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences is one of the best equipped 
graduate schools in the country. The following departments are especially note-

202 AMERICAN FACILITIES FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS. 

The proportion of foreign students is about 7 per cent of the total regis- 
tration, the highest proportion among the large colleges of the country. 

After 50 years on its original site in Boston, the Institute in 1916 moved all 
its departments except that of architecture to a location in Cambridge, across 
the Charles River from Boston. It has expended more than eight and a half 
million dollars in the development of its new plant. Its laboratories of steam, 
electrical, hydraulic, and gas engineering, and of testing materials are unex- 
celled, having been built after a careful examination of the best laboratories in 
various parts of the work! It has also large laboratories of physics, chemistry, 
and biology. 

In 1918-19 the registration was 2,000, there being over 200 in each of the 
departments of civil, mechanical, electrical, and chemical engineering, and 
engineering administration, and 1,600 students in all the engineering depart- 
ments. 

The work in naval architecture and marine engineering is facilitated by the 
proximity- of the institute to the navy yard and the Fore River Shipyard. 
Courses in this department include a study of mechanism, thermodynamics, 
applied mechanics, hydraulics, heat engineering, steam turbines, and marine 
engineering. For the past 18 years the U. S, Navy Department has sent grad- 
uates of the Naval Academy to this school for special training in naval con- 
struction. Both the Army and the Navy have detailed officers to study aero- 
nautical engineering at this institute. The aerodynamical laboratory provides 
unusual facilities for research and experiment in this subject. 

For students in architecture there are two options: (1) General architecture 
with emphasis upon design and art, and (2) architectural engineering with 
emphasis upon structural design and engineering. 

The graduate course in aeronautical engineering includes theoretical dynamics 
of rigid bodies and fluids and the general theory and design of aircraft. 

There are well-equipped research laboratories in applied chemistry, physical 
chemistry, biology, and the various special branches of engineering (including 
aerodynamics).

Of special interest to foreign students. — The College of Literature, Science, 
and the Arts offers a very large variety of courses in English and the ancient 
and modern foreign languages, music and fine arts, history, political science, 
political economy, commerce, and sociology, philosophy, psychology and edu- 
cation, mathematics, and the physical and biological sciences. Special four- 
year programs are arranged in journalism, general business, accounting, bank- 
ing, and insurance and statistics, and a five-year program in government and 
municipal administration. The four-year program in technical and applied 
chemistry leads to a special degree. 

The university was one of the first to recognize the need for trained spe- 
cialists in landscape design, and to establish a course for that purpose. The 
work in this field covers five years, and includes, in addition to a large amount 
of nonprofessional studies, such subjects as civic improvement, design of 
home grounds, country places, and cemeteries, park and city planning, forestry, 
architecture, fine arts, surveying, and municipal engineering. 

The work in forestry is prescribed throughout the four undergraduate 
years. Courses will be recommended for such lines as forest engineer, forest 
entomologist, forest pathologist, forest grazing expert, city forester, and others. 

Combined curricula are offered, leading to degrees in letters and in law, 
medicine, and dentistry. 

In the College of Engineering the student selects that field in which he 
wishes to work from among the groups into which the general subject is 
divided. Civil engineering includes structural, hydraulic, transportation, high- 
way, sanitary, municipal, and geodetic engineering. Steam power, internal- 
combustion, machine design, hydro-mechanical, heating, ventilating, and re- 
frigerating, industrial, and automobile engineering are the mechanical en- 
gineering groups. Electrical engineering includes the telegraph, telephone, 
and radio, power, railway, and illumination groups. Chemical engineering 
comprises metallurgy, gas engineering, organic industries, general manufac- 
ture, and paper manufacturing. 

The university is one of the few in this country offering thorough courses in 
marine engineering and naval architecture. A special laboratory is equipped 
for this work, and includes a naval tank for various experiments relating to 
resistance, propulsion, and steering, to be made upon models of ships and 
propellers. Thorough courses are also given in aeronautical engineering. 

The work in architecture includes design, construction, and architectural 
engineering. 

The Law School has been long established, and offers instruction by the 
latest methods in the fundamental theory and the practice of the law. 

Both the Medical School and the Homeopathic Medical School maintain the 
highest standards, with modern laboratories, ample clinics, bedside instruc- 
tion in large, well-equipped hospitals under faculty control. Both schools 
conduct training schools for nurses. 

The Dental College is of highest rank, and its diplomas are recognized the

Of special interest to foreign students. — The school of education of Teachers 
College offers to advanced students extensive courses in the history and phi- 
losophy of education, educational psychology and sociology, theory and practice 
of educational administration, supervision, and class teaching. The Horace 
Mann school, and the Speyer school, including kindergarten, elementary, secon- 
dary classes, and neighborhood work, are maintained by the college, and provide 
unusual facilities for studying the practical work of teaching and for the inves- 
tigation of educational problems. Arrangement is also made for work and 
observation in the New York public schools. 

Numerous hospitals throughout the city with which the university maintains 
close relation give the students of the College of Physicians and Surgeons excep- 
tional opportunities for study, observation, and clinical work. 

The School of Law is one of the foremost law schools of the country. 

The School of Journalism aims " to make better journalists, who will make 
better newspapers, which will better serve the public." Openefi in 1912, it 
already occupies an important place among schools of journalism. 

The College of Pharmacy of the City of New York became affiliated with 
Columbia in 1904. It is especially well equipped, and ranks among the best 
schools of pharmacy in the United States. 

The Graduate Faculties of Political Science, Philosophy, and Pure Science, 
which offer advanced work, leading to the degrees of A. M. and Ph. D., in pro- 
fessional, scientific, and liberal subjects, have the largest student registration 
of any part of the university. 

Extension teaching offers subjects ordinarily included in a classical educa- 
tion, for the benefit of those students who are able to give only a portion 
of their time to study. 

The Summer School offers an unusually large number of courses and a foreign 
student may profitably attend the sessions. 

The location of Columbia, in America's most populous city, the liberal endow- 
ment, the large number of valuable scholarships, and especially the high stand- 
ing of the university in all departments have combined to draw to it in the past 
a great many foreign students. 

The following departments are among those especially noteworthy, either 
because of the eminence of the men connected with them or because of the wide 
range of the courses offered: Mathematics, physics, biology, botany, geology, 
chemistry, Oriental and Semitic languages, Germanic languages and literature, 
English, history, economics and politics, anthropology, philosophy, and psy- 
chology.

Four-year cooperative course : Manufacturing production. ,_,_„_„,,_ B. S. 

The cooperative plan aims to give the student a thorough training in both 
the theory and practice of engineering by requiring the practice to be 
learned under actual commercial conditions in local industrial organiza- 
tions and the underlying science to be studied in the university under 
trained educators. To accomplish this the students are grouped in two 
sections, one of which is at work and the other in attendance at the uni- 
versity. For example, A, who is in section one, attends classes at the 
university for two weeks while B, who is paired with A and who is in 
section two, is at work. Then they change places and B attends the uni- 
versity for two weeks while A is at work. Of course, this necessitates the 
giving of all university work twice, once for each section. 

The manufacturing production course in the university includes the 
fundamental courses in engineering, a thorough course in business training, 
and, in the factory, four years of half-time work in the production depart- 
ments of a rubber factory.

Of special interest to foreign students. — The College of Engineering offers two 
courses — a four-year theoretical course similar to that., given in other engineer- 
ing institutions and a five-year cooperative course in which the students, divided 
into sections, spend alternate biweekly periods in practical engineering work 
and at the university. The aim of the cooperative course is to give training in 
the practice of engineering, as well as instruction in the theory. The practice 
is taught in a shop or on a railroad, under actual commercial conditions, while 
the underlying science is taught in the university. Cooperative students are 
paid for their work in the shops at the same rate as other employees. 

The College of Commerce and the College of Engineering have been merged, 
and a five-year cooperative course in commerce and administration is offered in 
addition to the regular four-year course. The cooperative course is designed 
to develop commercial engineers, men trained on both the productive and the 
commercial side of a business. The details of the operation of the cooperative 
course in commerce are the same as those of the cooperative course in engi- 
neering. 

The College for Teachers includes the department of home economics and a 
department of vocational education, as well as the usual courses in education. 
The students receive their practical training in the public schools of Cincinnati 
under the supervision of the members of the faculty. 

Under the new city charter the faculty of the College of Medicine becomes 
the attending staff of the Cincinnati General Hospital. Thus all the clinical 
facilities of the hospital and its branches are at the disposal of the college. 



ORGANIZATION AND OFFERINGS OF INSTITUTIONS. 285 

The hospital is built on the pavilion plan and embraces 24 large buildings. The 
new Medical College building and the hospital together constitute one of the 
greatest medical teaching plants in the country. 

The Graduate School offers advanced work in the various departments and 
has available a number of scholarships for promising students. It has superior 
facilities for research in medicine and in the sciences.

Of special interest to foreign students. — Special attention may be directed to 
the combined-course opportunities. The five-year course offered with Case 
School of Applied Science (situated adjacent to the university campus) is de- 
signed for the man who recognizes the demand for engineers possessed of a 
broader training than the purely technical school can give. The extra year is 
more than compensated for by the firmer foundation. 

The situation of the university in the city of Cleveland brings unusual ad- 
vantages to students of law and medicine. Exceptional clinical opportunities 
are offered by the School of Medicine, which controls four hospitals and is 
affiliated with as many more. A graduate course in medicine, which has re- 
cently been added, enables the student to specialize for an additional year.

Of special interest to foreign students. — Bryn Mawr offers strong collegiate 
courses to women only. The students are not divided into the conventional 
four classes, and there is no time limit set for the completion of the require- 
ments for graduation. 

The School of Education offers graduate courses only to those who wish to 
study education for one, two, or three years, and it is assumed that about one- 
half of the time will be given to purely educational courses and the remainder 
to that subject which the student intends to teach. In connection with the 
department a model school is maintained which receives pupils at the age of 
10 and prepares them for college in seven years. This work is under the direc- 
tion of expert teachers, and excellent opportunity is thus afforded for observa- 
tion and discussion. 

The Carola Woerishoffer Graduate Department of Social Economy and Social 
Research offers one, two, or three years' training in many varieties of social 
work and social research, such as social relief and child welfare, community 
organization, vocational advisement, industrial supervision and employment 
management. Certificates are given for one or two years' work. A number 
of scholarships are given in this department for students preparing for employ- 
ment management and community organization, and two special scholarships 
covering all other expenses are offered to French women who wish to study 
employment management and kindred subjects in the United States. 

The college offers graduate work in all departments. Graduate courses are 
separate, for graduates only. In addition to 16 resident fellowships and 20 
scholarships, 4 traveling fellowships are available. Twelve scholarships cover- 
ing the cost ($530) of board, residence, and tuition in the Graduate School are 
offered — 4 to British, 4 to French, 2 to Italian women, 1 to Swiss women, 1 to 
women from Scandinavia and The Netherlands.

ORGANIZATION AND OFFERINGS OF INSTITUTIONS. 241 

Of special interest to foreign students. — The course in industrial engineering 
aims to fit the student for positions in industrial organizations, leading to super- 
intendence, purchasing, selling, scientific management, and industrial business 
administration. Besides the regular engineering subjects, emphasis is placed 
upon such matters as industrial economics, logic, psychology, and specialized 
work in accounting, forestry management, shop time study, machine tools and 
methods, and factory planning, with more shop practice than is found in the 
regular engineering curricula. For training teachers and supervisors of indus- 
trial work in schools a course is also offered in industrial education. 

Pennsylvania is one of the greatest mining States and the student in the 
School of Mines is given abundant opportunity for observation and study of 
mining and metallurgical operations. 

The Institute of Animal Nutrition, affiliated with the college and the Experi- 
ment Station, is devoted entirely to research and provides excellent facilities 
for graduate work in this subject.

Of special interest to foreign students. — The courses in the scientific and 
engineering schools are of particular interest to foreign students because of 
their nature and content. In the School of Engineering an arrangement of the 
work during the sophomore and junior years enables the student to enter shops, 
mills, mines, and factories and secure in all two years of practical training 
with pay. In many instances relationships are formed which enable the 
student to reenter these establishments after they have completed their uni- 
versity career. In the School of Mines this same feature of cooperative educa- 
tion prevails, and for students engaged in the study of mining a special summer 
camp has been established in the heart of the mining district of Pennsylvania. 
Surveying, inspection, and mining are engaged in by means of the cooperative 
feature of this school.

ORGANIZATION AND OFFERINGS OF INSTITUTIONS. 247 

Of special interest to foreign students. — Peabody has a large endowment and 
aims to provide the best possible instruction for workers in all fields of educa- 
tion. The department of industrial arts offers training for teachers of manual 
arts and also for specialists in wood and metal working, printing, supervision 
of drawing and handwork ; the department of home economics offers courses 
in almost all lines of women's work in the home, with opportunities for 
specialization in textiles and sewing, foods and cooking, and home demonstra- 
tion work. 

The Seaman A. Knapp School of Country Life includes courses which aim 
to train leaders for work in rural communities, in agriculture, animal hus- 
bandry, farm demonstration work, food conservation, rural sanitation and 
health, rural education, community cooperation, etc. 

The Correspondence Study Department offers a large number of courses of 
interest to teachers, supervisors, and school administrators. Regular college 
credit is granted for work completed by correspondence. This feature is of 
special value for students located at great distances from Peabody. 

Peabody also opens its National Bureau of International Educational Corre- 
spondence, which promotes educational letter exchange between the pupils and 
students of all nations. Students at Peabody have a great opportunity of 
becoming familiar with this new educational agency. 

The College is in session throughout the year, the work being divided into 
four quarters of about 12 weeks each. A student may materially shorten the 
number of academic years of residence required for any degree by attendance 
during the extra summer quarter. 

An agreement with Vanderbilt University, whose campus adjoins that of 
Peabody, enables students registered in either institution to enjoy the ad- 
vantages of the other without additional charge. Peabody students thus have 
available for one fee all the facilities of the two institutions, representing 
assets of nearly $15,000,000.

In cooperation with the Legislative Reference Department of the Wisconsin 
Free Library Commission, the Library School also offers a special course of 
training for legislative and municipal reference work and the various sociological 
phases of library service. The course is intended for college graduates with 
special aptitude and personal qualifications for this type of library service who 
have a definite preparation in political science, economics, and sociology. 

The Department of Physics, which has one of the largest and best equipped 
laboratories in the country, offers an unusual opportunity for research. 

In connection with the work in the College of Agriculture, special mention 
should be made of the courses in animal husbandry, dairying and dairy hus- 
bandry, and soils. There is opportunity for research work in almost all depart- 
ments and close association is maintained with the State experiment station. 

The Forest Products Laboratory is conducted in cooperation with the work 
of the university, and offers especially valuable opportunities for engineering 
students to carry on advanced study and research pertaining to the utilization 
of forest products. 

The university is the culmination of the free educational system of Wisconsin, 
and sustains a similar relation to the high schools that the latter sustain to the 
primary and grammar schools. Moreover, the university maintains the closest 
connection with all the interests of the State, and through its extension service 
aims to provide a better education for all the people.
